LAND

LAND is an automated testing tool for Android apps.

LAND is an effective and user-friendly test generation tool based on GUI exploration of Android apps, which constructs an elaborate window transition model "LATTE" that considers more Android specific characteristics and provides a customizable test generation interface by reusing the model.

Steps:

1. Install Python 2.7
2. Install Java 1.8
3. Install GraphViz (windows) and add "Graphvizxx\bin" into the environment variable "path"
4. Run dot -c (as the root user) to update the config file
5. Open an Android emulator or Android device
6. Run land.jar "java -jar land.jar"

Note that:

1. This tool can only run on Windows.
2. The configration file for each app under test is "profile\appName\profile.txt", in which oo short sleeptime or too small will lead to incomplete model.
