Modeling and Test Case Generation of Inter-component Communication in Android

Currently, there is a lack of tools or techniques which can clearly handle the complexity related to inter-component communication while developing Android applications. We propose a conceptual model which represents the inter-component communication at a higher abstraction level. We also propose a technique to derive test case from the model. The model can be useful in handling complexity at various stages of software engineering process. Mainly, it can be used for testing and analysis of inter-component communication in Android applications which we have demonstrated through experiment.
