SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TE...

Smartphone users have come to expect high-quality apps. This has increased the importance of
software testing in mobile software development. Unfortunately  testing apps-particularly the
GUI-can be very time-consuming. Exercising every user interface element and verifying
transitions between different views of the app under test quickly becomes problematic. For
example  execution of iOS GUI test suites using Apple's UI Automation framework can take an
hour or more if the app's interface is complicated. The longer it takes to run a test  the less
frequently the test can be run  which in turn reduces software quality.This book describes how
to accelerate the testing process for iOS apps using HadoopUnit  a distributed test execution
environment that leverages the parallelism inherent in the Hadoop platform. HadoopUnit was
previously used to run unit and system tests in the cloud. It has been modified to perform GUI
testing of iOS apps on a small-scale cluster-a modest computing infrastructure available to
almost every developer.Experimental results have shown that distributed test execution with
HadoopUnit can significantly outperform the test execution on a single machine  even if the
size of the cluster used for the execution is as small as two nodes. This means that the
approach described in this book could be adopted without a huge investment in IT resources.
HadoopUnit is a cost-effective solution for reducing lengthy test execution times of
system-level GUI testing of iOS apps.
