SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATED APPLICATION SCREEN FLOW GENERATION FOR DETECTING ABERRATION IN MOBILE APPLICATION

摘要

A processor implementing an application screen flow generator for identifying an aberration in a mobile application is disclosed. The application screen flow generator includes an activity status detection module that determines a processing status for a launchable visible component selected from the launchable visible components, a clickable element processing module that retrieves a set of clickable elements for the launchable visible component and determines a number of clickable elements in the launchable visible component, a node detection module that determines that the launchable visible component is a child component if launched by clicking on a previous launchable visible component or determines that the launchable visible component is a parent component if it launches a subsequent launchable visible component, and an application flow representation module that represents a flow of the launchable visible components.

1. A processor implementing an application screen flow generator for identifying an aberration in a mobile application, said application screen flow generator comprising:
(a) an activity processing module implemented by said processor that processes a data structure of said mobile application to obtain a list of visible components; (b) an activity launch module implemented by said processor that determines whether each of said visible components can be launched or not to obtain a list of launchable visible components; (c) an activity status detection module implemented by said processor that determines a processing status for a launchable visible component selected from said launchable visible components, wherein said processing status is selected from a group comprising (i) processing not started (ii) processing started, and (iii) processing complete; (d) a clickable element processing module implemented by said processor that that retrieves a set of clickable elements for said launchable visible component and determines a number of clickable elements in said launchable visible component; (e) a node detection module implemented by said processor that determines that said launchable visible component is a child component if it is launched by clicking on a previous launchable visible component or determines that said launchable visible component is a parent component if it launches a subsequent launchable visible component; (f) an activity execution verification module implemented by said processor that processes said child component based on said processing status; and (g) an application flow representation module implemented by said processor that represents a flow of said launchable visible components, wherein at least one launchable visible component is represented as a child node and at least one launchable visible component is represented as a parent node.
