ABSTRACT
The agile model is essential and preferable for the current software development process. Its task is to produce good software faster. With an emerging set of mobile technologies, almost 5 million phones are sold every day in the world. With this much competition, every device tries to add new features and come up with new standards to dominate the market. On the other hand, mobile app developers launch new and powerful apps for all the problems of the users. But an app needs to be well tested before coming into the hands of a user. Mobile app testing is the biggest challenge. Because an app untested can attract risks of failure after launching into the real world. In this paper, we introduce two new Mobile App Coverage criteria to make GUI Testing faster, so that continuous integration (CI) (which is an important agile method) can be performed. This way we are towards achieving the principles of agile testing. Testing nowadays has become a difficult task for testers to try out all possible combinations or paths that a user can take. This is impossible to cover all such paths. Testing of the mobile app can be done using any tool, but the most popular one is Appium. It is purely a black box tester that works by scripting test files. It doesn't provide any coverage scores. This research paper focused towards introducing the new app coverage to an extent to be reasonable to calculate through the Appium tool.
