Automated Test Transfer Across Android Apps Using Large Language Models
Benyamin Beyzaei, Saghar Talebipour, Ghazal Rafiei +2
The pervasiveness of mobile apps in everyday life necessitates robust testing strategies to ensure quality and efficiency, especially through end-to-end usage-based tests for mobil…
Toward Improved Deep Learning-based Vulnerability Detection
Adriana Sejfia, Satyaki Das, Saad Shafiq +1
Deep learning (DL) has been a common thread across several recent techniques for vulnerability detection. The rise of large, publicly available datasets of vulnerabilities has fuel…
Avgust: Automating Usage-Based Test Generation from Videos of App Executions
Yixue Zhao, Saghar Talebipour, Kesina Baral +6
Writing and maintaining UI tests for mobile apps is a time-consuming and tedious task. While decades of research have produced automated approaches for UI test generation, these ap…
Architectural Archipelagos: Technical Debt in Long-Lived Software Research Platforms
Marcelo Schmitt Laser, Duc Minh Le, Joshua Garcia +1
This paper identifies a model of software evolution that is prevalent in large, long-lived academic research tool suites (3L-ARTS). This model results in an "archipelago" of relate…
Architectural Decay as Predictor of Issue- and Change-Proneness
Duc Minh Le, Suhrid Karthik, Marcelo Schmitt Laser +1
Architectural decay imposes real costs in terms of developer effort, system correctness, and performance. Over time, those problems are likely to be revealed as explicit implementa…
Assessing the Feasibility of Web-Request Prediction Models on Mobile Platforms
Yixue Zhao, Siwei Yin, Adriana Sejfia +3
Prefetching web pages is a well-studied solution to reduce network latency by predicting users' future actions based on their past behaviors. However, such techniques are largely u…
FrUITeR: A Framework for Evaluating UI Test Reuse
Yixue Zhao, Justin Chen, Adriana Sejfia +5
UI testing is tedious and time-consuming due to the manual effort required. Recent research has explored opportunities for reusing existing UI tests from an app to automatically ge…
A Microservice Architecture for Online Mobile App Optimization
Yixue Zhao, Nenad Medvidovic
A large number of techniques for analyzing and optimizing mobile apps have emerged in the past decade. However, those techniques' components are notoriously difficult to extract an…
Leveraging Program Analysis to Reduce User-Perceived Latency in Mobile Applications
Yixue Zhao, Marcelo Schmitt Laser, Yingjun Lyu +1
Reducing network latency in mobile applications is an effective way of improving the mobile user experience and has tangible economic benefits. This paper presents PALOMA, a novel…
Empirically Assessing Opportunities for Prefetching and Caching in Mobile Apps
Yixue Zhao, Paul Wat, Marcelo Schmitt Laser +1
Network latency in mobile software has a large impact on user experience, with potentially severe economic consequences. Prefetching and caching have been shown effective in reduci…
Uncovering Architectural Design Decisions
Arman Shahbazian, Youn Kyu Lee, Duc Le +1
Over the past three decades, considerable effort has been devoted to the study of software architecture. A major portion of this effort has focused on the originally proposed view…
