Abstract

Android is an open operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) that Google-led. However, due to the nature of an open operating system, Android has the fragmentation problem which is mobile application behavior varies by device. And due to this problem, a developer has been consuming a lot of time and money to develop mobile app test. In this paper, we have designed mobile application compatibility test system for android fragmentation. This system is designed to compare code analysis result and API pre-testing to detect android fragmentation. By comparing the fragmentation in the code level and the API level, the time and cost of mobile application test can be reduced.
