摘要：

The popularity of portable devices has grown rapidly in recent years. Due to the high number and diversity of users, new testing approaches are necessary to reduce the occurrence of faults and ensure better quality in mobile applications. The major objective of this paper is to evaluate the use of Model-Based Testing (MBT) in the construction and implementation of automated tests to verify and validate mobility solutions developed in the Google Android platform. The research proposal is guided by three questions: (Q1) - "Can the concepts of MBT be used in its current state to verify and validate functional requirements in mobile applications?"; (Q2) - "What are the results and challenges identified from adoption of MBT in mobile applications?"; and (Q3) - "How effective were the models and test cases generated, implemented and executed in the mobile application evaluated?". The results obtained from an experimental evaluation are discussed and related to questions of this research.
