    Background
    Limited Optimization Techniques
    • 48 papers (mobile domain) accepted at
    ICSE (2014 – 2018)
    • only 7 optimization techniques
    • Limited evaluation
    e.g., 5 apps

    View Slide

  5. 5
    Motivation
    • Angry users want better apps
    • Developers want better apps
    • Researchers need to propose more
    optimization techniques to address real needs

    View Slide

  6. 6
    Common Challenges
    • “It’s hard to use other research tools”
    • “They don’t have documentation”
    • “It’s so time-consuming to find subject apps”
    • “It’s hard to debug a research tool on real
    apps without domain-specific knowledge”
    • …

    Problem Summary
    • Reusability issue of existing tools
    • Gap between researchers and developers
