Generating test cases through automatic app exploration is very useful for analyzing and testing Android apps. However, generated by current app-exploration tools are not reproducible, i.e. when the case re-executed, cannot reach same state as explored one. As a result, developers able to reproduce failure or crash reported during exploration, conduct regression after fixing bug, execute in different environments. In this paper, we present DroidWalker, dynamic-analysis tool generate reproducible The key design of our dynamic-adaptive model that can abstract proper granularity so every be reached afterwards. Given an under test, DroidWalker first explores build model. Then select reproduced. Finally, executes all could exactly We apply three real usage scenarios demonstrate its practical usage. video at https://youtu.be/ndUD8Gxs800.
