A systematic mapping study of mobile application testing techniques

The importance of mobile application specific testing techniques and methods has been attracting much attention of software engineers over the past few years. This is due to the fact that mobile applications are different than traditional web and desktop applications, and more and more they are movi...

This is due to the fact that mobile applications are different than traditional web and desktop applications, and more and more they are moving to be- ing used in critical domains. Mobile applications require a different approach to application quality and dependability and require an effective testing approach to build high quality and more reliable software. We performed a systematic mapping study to categorize and to structure the research evidence that has been published in the area of mobile application testing techniques and challenges that they have re- ported. Seventy nine (79) empirical studies are mapped to a classification schema.
