Involves a crawler to collect data from the Google Play store including the application's metadata and APK files. The manifest files were extracted from the APK files and then processed to extract the features. The data set is composed of 870,515 records/apps, and for each app we produced 48 features. The data set was used to built and test two bootstrap aggregating of multiple XGBoost machine learning classifiers. The dataset were collected between April 2017 and November 2018. We then checked the status of these applications on three different occasions; December 2018, February 2019, and May-June 2019. (2022-06-03)

Nowadays, mobile applications (a.k.a., apps) are used by over two billion users for every type of need, including social and emergency connectivity. Their pervasiveness in today world has inspired the software testing research community in devising approaches to allow developers to better test their apps and improve the quality of the tests being developed. In spite of this research effort, we still notice a lack of empirical analyses aiming at assessing the actual quality of test cases manually developed by mobile developers: this perspective could provide evidence-based findings on the future research directions in the field as well as on the current status of testing in the wild. As such, we performed a large-scale empirical study targeting 1,780 open-source Android apps and aiming at assessing (1) the extent to which these apps are actually tested, (2) how well-designed are the available tests, and (3) what is their effectiveness. The key results of our study show that mobile developers still tend not to properly test their apps, possibly because of time to market requirements. Furthermore, we discovered that the test cases of the considered apps have a low (i) design quality, both in terms of test code metrics and test smells, and (ii) effectiveness when considering code coverage as well as assertion density.

Context

Data-driven models help mobile app designers understand best practices and trends, and can be used to make predictions about design performance and support the creation of adaptive UIs. This paper presents Rico, the largest repository of mobile app designs to date, created to support five classes of data-driven applications: design search, UI layout generation, UI code generation, user interaction modeling, and user perception prediction. To create Rico, we built a system that combines crowdsourcing and automation to scalably mine design and interaction data from Android apps at runtime. The Rico dataset contains design data from more than 9.3k Android apps spanning 27 categories. It exposes visual, textual, structural, and interactive design properties of more than 66k unique UI screens. To demonstrate the kinds of applications that Rico enables, we present results from training an autoencoder for UI layout similarity, which supports query-by-example search over UIs.

Content

Rico was built by mining Android apps at runtime via human-powered and programmatic exploration. Like its predecessor ERICA, Rico’s app mining infrastructure requires no access to — or modification of — an app’s source code. Apps are downloaded from the Google Play Store and served to crowd workers through a web interface. When crowd workers use an app, the system records a user interaction trace that captures the UIs visited and the interactions performed on them. Then, an automated agent replays the trace to warm up a new copy of the app and continues the exploration programmatically, leveraging a content-agnostic similarity heuristic to efficiently discover new UI states. By combining crowdsourcing and automation, Rico can achieve higher coverage over an app’s UI states than either crawling strategy alone. In total, 13 workers recruited on UpWork spent 2,450 hours using apps on the platform over five months, producing 10,811 user interaction traces. After collecting a user trace for an app, we ran the automated crawler on the app for one hour.

Inspiration

The Rico dataset is large enough to support deep learning applications. We trained an autoencoder to learn an embedding for UI layouts, and used it to annotate each UI with a 64-dimensional vector representation encoding visual layout. This vector representation can be used to compute structurally — and often semantically — similar UIs, supporting example-based search over the dataset. To create training inputs for the autoencoder that embed layout information, we constructed a new image for each UI capturing the bounding box regions of all leaf elements in its view hierarchy, differentiating between text and non-text elements. Rico’s view hierarchies obviate the need for noisy image processing or OCR techniques to create these inputs.

We propose a novel Cloud-based geolocation data service system, termed ‘Geopot’, for location-based mobile applications. The exponentially growing number of users of location-based mobile applications demand a data service that can easily be deployed and is scalable against a large volume of accesses from mobile devices across the world. The purpose of our work is to construct a scalable spatial data service that leverages the powerful benefits of a Cloud-based storage. We focus on highly scalable check-in and nearby search service, which is a common focus of location-based mobile applications. Our system comprises two parts: a local data service for indexing and storing geolocation data of check-ins to achieve a compact spatial index database. This is based on an in-memory R-tree and a local hash table, and it utilizes a Cloud storage that enables global accesses. The local data service maintains a compact spatial index, with tempo-spatial clustering, in which check-ins are grouped by their distance through a time window. A centroid of a cluster is used as a spatial index of R-tree, and members of the cluster are stored in the local networked hash table temporarily. This insures that R-tree remains in a compact size that can fit into the system memory. The data stored in the local hash table will be published into the Cloud storage to allow users to access it remotely with the same quality of service. Publishing the local data to a Cloud not only insures staying within the specified storage size limits of the local data service, but also promotes scalable access to the Cloud from mobile clients. Our contribution lies in the design of a new scale-out data service architecture and in implementing this for mobile applications. We encourage the building of a mobile application with our proposed system as well as a low-cost Cloud data service for linking to a large-scale spatial database.
