Nowadays, as mobile devices have become widespread, mobile application development has become an area which is considerably popular. This popularity increases the importance of mobile application testing. Distinguishing properties of mobile devices increase the importance of test automation. Thus, the number of mobile test automation tools is growing. Each tool has some advantages and limitations. The aim of this study is to compare the most popular mobile testing tools. We choose Android testing tools because of Android’s prevalence in the market. To achieve this aim of the study, firstly we have identified the criteria that will be used for comparison of the testing tools. Then, we have selected three most commonly used Android test automation tools. Afterwards, we have analyzed and compared the selected tools in terms of the criteria identified before. In order to make this comparison we have made a detailed research on tutorials and conducted a case study in which we have written and run same test cases by using each of the selected tools

Semantic prefetching and caching in 5G Mehteroğlu, Can; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Recent popularity of mobile devices increased the demand for mobile network services and applications that require minimal delay. 5G mobile networks are expected to provide much lesser delay than the present mobile networks. One of the conventional ways for decreasing latency is caching content closer to end users. However, currently deployed methods are not effective enough. In this thesis, we propose a new astute caching strategy that is able to smartly predict subsequent user requests and prefetch necess...
GUI testing of android applications: a systematic mapping Aydın, Muzaffer; Betin Can, Aysu; Garousi, Vahid; Department of Information Systems (2014) Popularity of mobile devices is increasing rapidly all around the world. These devices can be used on various systems which are commonly used by the society. These systems are predicted to overtake desktop platform's popularity in the near future. Therefore the quality of mobile applications has vital importance. High quality applications can only be developed with good testing environments. Considering that multi-featured mobile applications have complex user interfaces, we decided to focus on graphical us...
An Efficient graph-theoretical approach for interactive mobile image and video segmentation Şener, Ozan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Over the past few years, processing of visual information by mobile devices getting more affordable due to the advances in mobile technologies. Efficient and accurate segmentation of objects from an image or video leads many interesting multimedia applications. In this study, we address interactive image and video segmentation on mobile devices. We first propose a novel interaction methodology leading better satisfaction based on subjective user evaluation. Due to small screens of the mobile devices, error ...
Methods for location prediction of mobile phone users Keleş, İlkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we have investigated several approaches for location prediction problem including clustering, classification and sequential pattern mining. We propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobil...
A novel user activity prediction model for context aware computing systems Peker, Serhat; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011) In the last decade, with the extensive use of mobile electronic and wireless communication devices, there is a growing need for context aware applications and many pervasive computing applications have become integral parts of our daily lives. Context aware recommender systems are one of the popular ones in this area. Such systems surround the users and integrate with the environment; hence, they are aware of the users' context and use that information to deliver personalized recommendations about everyday ...
