ABSTRACT
Mining usage data from a large number of Android users can assist various software engineering tasks. In collaboration with Wandoujia, a leading Android app marketplace in China, we have conducted a large empirical analysis based on mining app usage behaviors collected from millions of Android users. Our empirical findings can provide implications, challenges, and opportunities to app-centric software development, deployment, and maintenance.
