One Computer Science MSc thesis to be presented on 1 February

Thursday, 1 February there will be a master thesis presentation in Computer Science at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering.

The presentation will take place in E:1145. (N.B. Change of room!)

Note to potential opponents: Register as an opponent to the presentation of your choice by sending an email to the examiner for that presentation (firstname.lastname@cs.lth.se. Do not forget to specify the presentation you register for! Note that the number of opponents may be limited (often to two), so you might be forced to choose another presentation if you register too late. Registrations are individual, just as the oppositions are! More instructions are found on this page.)

10:15-11:00 in E:1145 (N.B. Change of room!)

Presenters: Oskar Pott, Jesper Grahm
Title: Exploring performance testing for different code versions in legacy Android environments
Examiner: Görel Hedin
Supervisors: Alexandru Dura (LTH), Niklas Hedström (Tactel)

As new technology emerges the applications we use become faster or more advanced, or both. As many as 86\% of users say that they have uninstalled or deleted a mobile app because of poor performance. We have looked at how the performance of an Android map application for airplane screens has developed over time. To do this we designed a tool to automate performance testing of earlier code versions. We have also performed a case study based on the performance testing of different code versions with focus on devices running legacy Android versions. Our results give a picture of how automated performance testing can help developers in their work and the difficulties with performance testing different code versions of an Android application. We also map how performance testing can be done for legacy Android versions and the availability of different tools.
