Abstract:
A system and method for test a mobile device software application is provided. In one example, a mobile application can interface with an emulation environment or mobile device that has been loaded with a kernel module that is configured to intercept certain system calls made by the mobile application, log the system calls, and generate a report based on the logged system calls. A user of the test environment can interface with the environment via a web browser that can also be used to load one or more tests that can be applied to the mobile device software application.
