Automated GUI testing based on behavioral model is one of the most efficient testing approaches. By mining user usage, test scenarios can be generated based on statistical models such as Markov chain. However, these works require static analysis before starting the exploration which requires too much prerequisites and time. To address these challenges, we propose a behavioral-based GUI testing approach for mobile applications that achieves faster and higher coverage. The proposed approach does not conduct static analysis. It creates a behavioral model from usage logs by applying a statistical model. The events within the behavioral model are mapped to GUI components in a GUI tree. Finally, it updates the model dynamically to increase the probability of an event that rarely or never occurs when users use the application. The proposed approach was evaluated on four open-source Android applications, and compared with the state-of-the-art tools and manual testing. The main evaluation criteria are code coverage and ability to find errors. The proposed approach performed better than the current state-of-the-art automated testing tools in most aspects.

<p class="IEEEAbtract">Pengujian adalah tahap yang penting dan harus dilalui dalam proses pengembangan perangkat lunak. Pengujian tersebut dilakukan untuk menghindari kesalahan yang mungkin terdapat pada perangkat lunak yang diuji. Ada banyak kasus uji (<em>test case</em>) yang harus dieksekusi dalam proses pengujian. Karena itu, pengujian yang dilakukan secara manual membutuhkan upaya yang besar. Oleh sebab itu pengujian otomatis (<em>automated testing</em>) menjadi hal yang penting untuk dipertimbangkan menggantikan pengujian manual. Pengujian otomatis adalah penggunaan kakas pengujian (<em>testing tools</em> atau <em>testing framework</em>) dalam melakukan pengujian suatu perangkat lunak yang secara signifikan mengurangi waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk melakukan pengujian. Ada banyak kakas yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pengujian otomatis, antara lain Selendroid, Calabash, dan UI Automator. Tulisan ini membahas tentang studi perbandingan kakas pengujian otomatis pada aplikasi<em> </em><em>mobile</em> berbasis android dengan menggunakan Selendroid, Calabash, dan UI Automator.  Eksperimen dilakukan untuk mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing tools. Dari hasil analisis dan eksperimen, penulis merekomendasikan UI Automator sebagai kakas terbaik dalam hal kemudahan penginstalasian dan menjalankan kasus uji dalam sebuah kegiatan pengujian aplikasi <em>mobile</em> berbasis android.</p><p class="IEEEAbtract"> </p><p class="IEEEAbtract"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstrak"><em>Testing is a must to do phase in software development process.
