Abstract

Location-based services are growing in popularity due to the ubiquity of smartphone users. The availability and validity of location-based services are often effected by mobile user location contexts, which make mobile location-based services testing becomes one urgent and challenging issue. In this paper, we analyze location related features for location-based mobile apps. Then some test strategies are proposed to test those location related features and characteristics. Moreover, a case study is reported to describe our test approaches and test steps in details.
