Abstract

The proliferation of mobile devices and applications has seen an unprecedented rise in recent years. Application domains of mobile systems range from personal assistants to point-of-care health informatics systems. Software development for such diverse application domains requires stringent and well-defined development process. Software testing is a type of verification that is required to achieve more reliable system. Even though, Software Engineering literature contains many research studies that address challenging issues in mobile application development, we could not have identified a comprehensive literature review study on this subject. In this paper, we present a systematic mapping of the Software Verification in the field of mobile applications. We provide definitive metrics and publications about mobile application testing, which we believe will allow fellow researchers to identify gaps and research opportunities in this field.
