“…This severely affects the quality of the mobile applications development . Therefore, testing mobile applications adequately within a constricted time and cost becomes a big challenge that will affect the continuality of the mobile applications development . Mobile applications testing requires much time, cost, resources, and skillful tester and tools for writing and executing test cases …”

Recently, testing mobile applications is gaining much attention due to the widespread of smartphones and the tremendous number of mobile applications development. It is essential to test mobile applications before being released for the public use. Graphical user interface (GUI) testing is a type of mobile applications testing conducted to ensure the proper functionality of the GUI components. Typically, GUI testing requires a lot of effort and time whether manual or automatic. Cloud computing is an emerging technology that can be used in the software engineering field to overcome the defects of the traditional testing approaches by using cloud computing resources. As a result, testing‐as‐a‐service is introduced as a service model that conducts all testing activities in a fully automated manner. In this paper, a system for mobile applications GUI testing based on testing‐as‐a‐service architecture is proposed. The proposed system performs all testing activities including automatic test case generation and simultaneous test execution on multiple virtual nodes for testing Android‐based applications. The proposed system reduces testing time and meets fast time‐to market constraint of mobile applications. Moreover, the proposed system architecture addresses many issues such as maximizing resource utilization, continuous monitoring to ensure system reliability, and applying fault‐tolerance approach to handle occurrence of any failure.

Abstract-The variety of planning and design solutions occasionally turns into an underpinning factor for the defects and maintenance issues in built forms. Defects and maintenance that emerges from deficient design indicate that the design has not been conceded in the perception of quality. Reviewing the nature of deficient designs and resulting maintenance problems in various types of built forms revealed that housing sector is most effective of this phenomenon. The reason could be set as; housing planning, design, and construction are a most practiced activity to address the living needs of the ever-growing world population. This research considered that design quality of housing is severely affected in developing countries. In this regard housing standards and bylaws plays a minor role to ensure the housing quality in developing regions. However, it is notable that, in developing regions, the majority of populations have easy access to mobile communication technology. Therefore, it is possible to use mobile technology to educate the people about quality issues of housing and to help them to evaluate the quality of proposed or existing housing. At present, the use of mobile technology has not only heightened the need for IT knowledge but also extend the capabilities of many designers/architects and builders. Hence, there is a niche to develop an integrated hub that could appraise the function of each professional involved in housing processes. This research has established a criterion that, the mobile technology can help common people to understand the quality of house/housing and to ascertain it. The results of the research have surfaced a model of mobile application that could be used later to prepare the real-time mobile application to work as a "design quality assessment tool."

“…Summary of the test is tabled in Once the application has passed the functionality test, compatibility and usability of the application on multiple devices are assessed. This test is important since there are numerous types of mobile devices with vast software and hardware requirements [9]. Hence, the application was tested using a virtual device on the Genymotion Emulator.…”

Abstract-Parents play a vital role contributing towards student achievement. They need to be actively involved in organising and monitoring student time, assisting with homework and discussing school matters. Hence, 360-Class Monitoring application aims to foster better communication between teachers, students and parents. The application enables effective and prompt communication in terms of updating parents on students" school work and assignments as well as school activities. For example, the application provides a platform for a teacher to post assignments which require students" actions along with the submission date. New entries by teachers will trigger email notifications to alert parents. Students and parents are able to view the post once they logged into the system.
