Today’s Mobile Applications deliver complex functionality on platforms that have limited resources for computing. Yet, unlike the PC-based environment, the Mobile environment comprises a number of devices with diverse hardware and software configurations and communication intricacies. This diversity in mobile computing environments presents unique challenges in mobile application development, quality assurance, and deployment, requiring unique testing strategies. Many enterprise applications that were deployed as desktop/web applications are now being ported to Mobile devices. In this paper, we have constructed the Mobile Applications Quality Assurance Tool(MAQAT) by integrating tools and prototype systems that we built for program analysis and testing for mobile applications software. MAQAS provides a architecture of program analysis and testing for mobile, and supports many program-analysis-based techniques, including automated mobile applications software inspection, software visualization, testing coverage analysis, performance evaluation, concurrent program debugging, software measurement, etc. The paper briefly describes the overall architecture of MAQAS, and introduces the implementation of its tools and components.
