  2. Device-specific failures • Device-specific failures are very common for mobile software applications • An application works reliably on many smartphones and tablets, but does not work properly (i.e., fails) on some specific devices • Examples: • App normally works under some specific operating system but fails under the latest or older OS • Graphics created for high-resolution screens are not shown properly on the mobile devices with extra-high or low screen resolutions • Factors: OS, screen resolution, screen size, device type (smartphone or tablet), handset manufacturer, RAM, etc. April16, 2014

  3. Device-specific failures How many? There are many different mobile devices Sufficient testing is required on different mobile devices Such testing is expensive and time-consuming April16, 2014

  4. Android Fragmentation Visualized (July 2013) From OpenSignal, http://opensignal.com/reports/fragmentation-2013/ From OpenSignal: We have seen 11,868 distinct devices download our app in the past few months. In our report last year we saw 3,997 April16, 2014

  5. Research task Practical task • How to test? Where to take mobile devices for testing? Optimal selection of mobile devices for testing S. Vilkomir and B.
