It not only helps analysts identify performance bottlenecks and functional errors, but also provides a means for finding security vulnerabilities. For example, analysts can determine the servers to which a mobile app connects, which sensitive data it transfers, and which cryptographic protocols it uses for the transfer. While many approaches for monitoring a running Android app exist, most work silently assumes that a suitable execution environment is available. When analyzing hundreds of apps at the same time, however, a single phone on the analyst’s desk is not enough. Emulators are not always an alternative as we show, because apps can behave differently on real hardware.In this paper, we discuss the challenges for providing a large-scale testing environment with real Android devices on physical hardware. We further present DFarm, a software and hardware system to configure and control hundreds of Android phones in a private testing cloud. We discuss electrical wiring, USB and WiFi connectivity, automatic configuration, and load balancing. We evaluate DFarm on a range between 1 and more than 70 devices. We show that it provides near-linear scaling for dynamic app analysis when adding new devices, while retaining the original device’s computation and network performance.","PeriodicalId":447963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM 7th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114263612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This fact led to the existence of several Android Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) which is one of the causes of the Android fragmentation phenomenon. As a consequence of fragmentation, many apps became not ready for new Android releases. Aiming at investigation of the readiness of Android apps, we developed a software repository mining tool to understand how ready apps are (and were) for Android releases. The tool tracks the changes of Android projects properties over time, contributing for a deeper analysis through collecting data since the beginning of the projects. It allows researchers to examine when exactly Android properties were changed, how many times they were changed, as well as all their values along time. This mechanism can support researchers to understand the evolution of Android projects and to answer research questions. In addition, developers can use the tool to track their apps evolution and perform comparisons and analysis with other open source apps. The tool can help developers to have a broader view of their apps evolution as well as to analyze competitor apps evolution.","PeriodicalId":447963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM 7th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121894849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
