Abstract :
Mobile testing is becoming an urgent and important research subject due to the explosive increase of mobile app downloads and mobile users. Now, location-based function services in mobile apps not only enhance mobile user experience, but also bring new challenges and issues in software testing. This paper focuses on location-based testing issues for mobile apps, and proposes a new testing model and method to address these needs. An application example for a popular location-based mobile app (Waze) and its case study results are reported based on SJSU Engineering Dpt. students´ mobile testing project experience.
