Simply download the artefact here and apply the following environment configuration:
-
Python: 2.7
-
Android SDK: API 19
-
Linux: sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev
-
Mac OS: brew install coreutils for gtimeout
Install Python dependencies:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py <apk_path | source_folder_path>
where apk_path is path to the subject apk under test
or you can specify source_folder_path for the subject app with source code
- instrumented apk should be compiled and named with suffix "-debug.apk"
- closed-source/non-instrumented apk name should end with ".apk"
- ANDROID_HOME and WORKING_DIR in settings.py should be set before starting Sapeinz.
- for open-sourced apps, outputs are stored under the given source folder
- for closed-sourced apps, output are stored under <apk_file_path>_output
Output content:
/coverages - Coverage reports are stored here
/crashes - Crash reports and corresponding test cases that lead to the crashes
(and also recorded videos files when using real devices)
/intermediate - Generated test event sequences for each generation; logbook of the genetic evolution;
and line charts showing the variation trend for each objectives.
- This implementation has been tested with Android 4.4, running on Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac OS 10.10
- If measure statement coverage for open-sourced apps, the subjects need to be processed to support EMMA instrumentation: (Please refer to Dynodroid https://code.google.com/archive/p/dyno-droid/)
- This version is only for emulators running on a physical PC.
