随着 Android 移动应用程序的开发不断增长,并满足其需求和市场份额的大幅增长,需要对图形移动用户界面 (GMUI) 进行自动化评估,以检测任何相关的缺陷,因为它们被认为会导致整体可用性不佳。尽管针对移动用户界面评估的研究有所增长,但缺乏评估其对质量影响的研究。这项工作的目标是通过研究缺陷的存在与用户界面的变更倾向之间的联系来分析缺陷对用户界面可维护性的影响。我们实证研究了 5 个 Android 应用程序的 56 个版本中的 8 个美观缺陷的影响,并研究了 GMUI 缺陷在整个移动应用程序演化过程中的扩散程度。然后,我们调查受感染的类别是否比其他未受感染的类别更频繁地更改,并且在更改频率(CF)和更改大小(CS)方面是否具有更大的更改大小。此外,我们研究了 GMUI 缺陷的生存性和共现性,以便确定纠正的优先顺序。我们的实证验证证实,受感染的用户界面比其他用户界面更容易发生许多变化,并且即使在代码中进行了许多改进,仍然存在一些严重的美观缺陷,可能需要更多的维护工作。
As the development of Android mobile applications continues to grow and to follow up its high increase in demand and market share, there is a need for automating the evaluation of Graphical Mobile User Interfaces (GMUI) to detect any associated defects as they are perceived to lead to bad overall usability. Although, there is growth in research targeting the assessment of mobile user interfaces, there is a lack of studies assessing their impact on quality. The goal of this work is to analyze the impact of defects on the maintainability of user interfaces by studying the connection between the existence of defects and the change-proneness of user interfaces. We empirically study the impact of 8 aesthetics defects in 56 releases of 5 Android applications and examine the diffuseness of GMUI defects throughout mobile apps evolution. Then, we investigate whether infected classes are changed more frequently, and have a larger change-size than other non-infected classes in terms of Change Frequency (CF) and Change-Size (CS). Moreover, we studied the survivability and co-occurrences of GMUI defects in order to prioritize their corrections. Our empirical validation confirms that the infected user interfaces are more prone to undergo many changes than other user interfaces, and there are some severe aesthetic defects still exists even after makingmany improvements in the code that may need more maintenance efforts.
