Abstract

Mobile navigation service is an important and popular location-based services, which help to recommend routes for mobile users to their destinations. Modern mobile navigation service provides various navigation strategies and considers many complex situations, which make validation and verification of mobile navigation service becomes very difficult. In this paper, we present an approach to prioritize test cases for regression testing of mobile navigation Service. The approach is based on the assumption that there may be a failure if the user's actual route deviates from the navigation recommended route. In this paper, we analyze the mass mobile navigation logs, compare the recommended routes with the user travel routes, identify the deviation of the intersection point, and then priority regression test data by deviation. To evaluate our approach, we conduct a case study on a popular navigation software. By compare proposed prioritizing test approach with random test approach, the approach helps to improve test efficiency.

摘要

随着现代移动导航服务的智能化发展，导航服务算法日益复杂，对其测试验证更为困难。探索基于偏离度的移动导航服务回归测试优先方法。该方法假设如果用户实际行驶路线偏离导航推荐路线，则可能存在移动导航服务故障。通过分析海量移动导航日志，比较导航服务推荐路径与用户行驶路径，识别导航区域和交叉点的偏离度，然后基于偏离度优先选择回归测试数据，帮助提高测试效率和质量。
