一句话：提出 MutAPK，无需源代码，以 APK 为输入并在 SMALI 中间表示上生成 Android 应用变异体。
Android 应用数量快速增长，给应用质量、频繁发布和快速修复缺陷带来压力，促使实践者和研究者采用自动化方法，而这些方法通常以源代码为输入。然而第三方服务因隐私因素无法使用这类方法。为此，论文提出 MutAPK，一个开源变异测试工具，使 APK 可直接作为变异测试的输入。MutAPK 不需要访问源代码，因为它在代码的中间表示 SMALI 上进行变异，无需重新编译即可生成变异体。该工具已公开在 GitHub 并提供演示视频。
The amount of Android application is having a tremendous increasing trend, exerting pressure over practitioners and researchers around application quality, frequent releases, and quick fixing of bugs. This pressure leads practitioners to make usage of automated approaches based on using source-code as input. Nevertheless, third-party services are not able to use these approaches due to privacy factors. In this paper we present MutAPK, an open source mutation testing tool that enables the usage of APK as input for this task. MutAPK generates mutants without the need of having access to source code, because the mutations are done in an intermediate representation of the code (i.e., SMALI) that does not require compilation. MutAPK is publicly available at GitHub: https://bit.ly/2KYvgP9 VIDEO: https://bit.ly/2WOjiyy.
