Cross-platform testing and maintenance of web and mobile applications

Abstract

Modern software applications are expected to run on a variety of web and mobile platforms with diverse software and hardware level features. Thus, developers of such software need to duplicate the testing and maintenance effort on a wide range of platforms. Often developers are not able to cope with this increasing demand. Thus, they release software that is broken on certain platforms affecting a class of customers using such platforms. The goal of my work is to improve the testing and maintenance of cross-platform applications by developing automated techniques for matching such applications across the different platforms.
