Aplicación móvil de información de frecuencias de cooperativas de transporte interprovincial evaluado bajo pruebas unitarias automatizadas.

Abstract

The objective of the following research work was the development of a mobile application based on information of frequencies in the cooperative interprovincial transport, which is evaluated under automated unitary tests. Android Studio is the integrated development environment used in the implementation of this mobile application, which it will work on smartphone devices with Android operating system. The monitoring of the development has been done through the agile scrum methodology, which it has designed formats to follow in the process of documentation of the mobile application in each of its stages. This system evaluated both manual tests (acceptance tests defined in the scrum methodology) and automated unit tests in order to compare the time it takes to perform each of these tests on the same system, it has been taken into account all the time spent in tests, which in turn is broken down into small fractions of time called variables, that verifies which of these represents the variation of time between manual and automated tests: only functionalities system have been evaluated under these two types of tests, while documentation tests and metaphors have been evaluated with manual tests. Junit is the framework used to perform automated tests, this framework works with Java programming language in the creation of Android mobile applications. We implemented the automation of 163 test cases distributed in 8 sprints that were carried out in an equivalent time of 4% of the total time devoted to tests. It is recommended to make a detailed study on geolocation in smartphone devices in order to reduce the consumption of resources and increase the degree of accuracy in the use of this service.
