Resumo


Com o avanço tecnológico das redes sem fio, os dispositivos móveis (e.g., celulares e tablets) se tornaram mais populares, resultando na demanda de aplicativos mais complexos. Fatores inerentes do ambiente móvel, tais como a mobilidade e as limitações do dispositivo móvel, exigem uma adaptação no processo tradicional de teste de software. Buscando investigar o estado atual das pesquisas na área de testes para aplicações móveis, realizou- se uma revisão sistemática em fontes de pesquisa científica nacionais e internacionais. A estratégia de busca identificou 2167 artigos potencialmente relevantes, dos quais 50 foram analisados de acordo com questões de pesquisa relativas a processo, ferramentas e desafios da área.
Palavras-chave: Testes de Aplicações Móveis, análise das pesquisas científicas, revisão sistemática
