| Abstract | The paper evaluates methods of selecting mobile devices (i.e., smartphones and tablets) to test mobile software applications. Due to the number of such devices on the market and the variations in their characteristics, it is hard to guarantee that an application will work properly on all devices. Software faults found only in certain devices are known as device-specific faults. The goal of this research was to determine how many devices must be tested and which methods of device selection are best for revealing these device-specific faults. To collect the experimental data, 15 Android applications were tested on 30 mobile devices using real devices and remote testing services such as TestObject, pCloudy, and others. In total, 24 device-specific faults were detected. Using our data, we analyzed the different methods of selection based on the characteristics of each device. Our research showed that a random selection of 13 devices achieved 100% effectiveness. However, coverage of device characteristics in the selection process enables the achievement of an acceptable 90% level of effectiveness with sets of only five devices. The most successful approach was the coverage of different types of Android operating systems. Our results include recommendations that will help increase the effectiveness and decrease the costs of mobile testing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
