STIFA: crowdsourced mobile testing report selection based on text and image fusion analysis

Published: 27 January 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Crowdsourced mobile testing has been widely used due to its convenience and high efficiency [10]. Crowdsourced workers complete testing tasks and record results in test reports. However, the problem of duplicate reports has prevented the efficiency of crowdsourced mobile testing from further improving. Existing crowdsourced testing report analysis techniques usually leverage screenshots and text descriptions independently, but fail to recognize the link between these two types of information. In this paper, we present a crowdsourced mobile testing report selection tool, namely STIFA, to extract image and text feature information in reports and establish an image-text-fusion bug context. Based on text and image fusion analysis results, STIFA performs cluster analysis and report selection. To evaluate, we employed STIFA to analyze 150 reports from 2 apps. The results show that STIFA can extract, on average, 95.23% text feature information and 84.15% image feature information. Besides, STIFA reaches an accuracy of 87.64% in detecting duplicate reports.
