DESCRIPTION:Reyhaneh Jabbarvand\, PhD candidate\nDonald Bren School of Info
 rmation and Computer Sciences\nUniversity of California\, Irvine\n\nAbstra
 ct\nThe utility of a smartphone is limited by its battery capacity and the
  ability of its hardware and software to efficiently use the device’s ba
 ttery. To properly characterize the energy consumption of an app and ident
 ify energy defects\, it is critical that apps are properly tested\, i.e.\,
  analyzed dynamically to assess the app’s energy properties. However\, c
 urrently there is a lack of testing tools for evaluating the energy proper
 ties of apps. As a result\, for energy testing\, developers are relying on
  tests intended for evaluating the functional correctness of apps. Are suc
 h tests adequate for revealing energy defects in apps? If not\, what are t
 he properties of tests that can effectively find energy inefficiencies in 
 apps? How can we automatically generate such tests? Answers to these quest
 ions are the subject of my presentation.\n\nIn the first part of this talk
 \, I will introduce μDroid\, a mutation testing technique that can be use
 d by developers to assess the adequacy of their test suite for revealing e
 nergy-related defects. Applying μDroid to real-world Android apps with av
 ailable test suites showed that current Android testing tools are in fact 
 ineffective at finding energy defects. Based on the insights from this stu
 dy\, I identified characteristics of tests that can effectively find energ
 y issues in Android apps. In the second part of this talk\, I will present
  COBWEB\, a search-based energy testing technique that automatically gener
 ates energy tests. Experimental results on real-world Android apps demonst
 rate not only COBWEB's ability to effectively and efficiently test energy 
 behavior of apps\, but also its superiority over prior techniques by findi
 ng a wider and more diverse set of energy defects.\n\nBio\nReyhaneh Jabbar
