Computer science QA76 Computer software Mobile applications and devices have played a significant role in boosting global businesses that encompass various domains such as health, education, banking, and transportation.

The SMS method conducted in this paper has identified gaps in literature, which are: 1) there is a lack of general and scalable approaches to support the diverse types of mobile app testing for applications using various platforms, and 2) the lack of evaluation methods such as case study to validate the proposed approaches.
