Enhancing GUI Exploration Coverage of Android Apps with Deep Link-Integrated Monkey
Mobile apps are ubiquitous in our daily lives for supporting different tasks such as reading and chatting. Despite the availability of many GUI testing tools, app testers still struggle with low testing code coverage due to tools frequently getting stuck in loops or overlooking activities with concealed entries. This results in a significant amount of testing time being spent on redundant and repetitive exploration of a few GUI pages. To address this, we utilize Android's deep links, which assi…

The "Portal Pasażera" #Android app is truly a feat of engineering.
It's the official app of PKP PLK, the company overseeing polish railway network. It's the only app having access to the official timetable data with last minute updates and delay information. As a true monopoly, they protect this data to the point of harassing "competition" — and by competition, we mean people making free applications without ads.
But back to the topic. This is the app that you open you need to quickly look the departure time up, or check the train delay. However:
1. The previous instance manages to be killed by Android, for some reason.
2. It takes 20 seconds to start!
3. It decides that it's a perfect time to update station data.
4. It requires you to input all the data again.
5. In the meantime, you lose reception and can't fetch the data anymore.

So there was this #Android app that I've used to keep track of carbs in my meals, for #diabetes management. I like it very much — it was lightweight, clean and it worked. It had all I needed; I've basically copied meals, adjusted significant ingredient weights and got total carbs. It had some minimal diabetes-related features, but I've never used them.
It used to be your average AdWare, i.e. free, but showing unobtrusive ads (though probably tracking). Then, it started turning into NagWare, starting to obtrusively invite you to go "premium", to remove ads and get future features. It started being buggy, even though no new features were added yet. Then I've finally visited their ravamped website. Of course, they are aiming for the "#AI" boom: "Community and AI driven platform for diabetes control". They've literally went for Anguillan TLD (".ai").
Now I really need a new app. I don't want to have any part in this.
