一句话：提出 ComboDroid，通过系统枚举短用例组合生成高质量 Android 测试输入，探索复杂应用功能。
Android 应用需要高质量测试输入，但自动生成仍是开放挑战。现有技术难以探索那些只有通过长、有意义且有效的测试输入才能到达的复杂应用功能。作者观察到这类测试输入通常可分解为若干相对独立的短用例，因此提出一种不同的 Android 应用测试框架 ComboDroid。ComboDroid 先获得能够体现特定应用功能的用例（可由人工提供或自动抽取），再系统枚举这些用例的组合，从而生成高质量测试输入。该方法以用例为基本单元，通过组合覆盖复杂功能路径，目标是提升测试输入探索复杂应用功能的能力。
Android apps demand high-quality test inputs, whose generation remains an open challenge. Existing techniques fall short on exploring complex app functionalities reachable only by a long, meaningful, and effective test input. Observing that such test inputs can usually be decomposed into relatively independent short use cases, this paper presents ComboDroid, a fundamentally different Android app testing framework. ComboDroid obtains use cases for manifesting a specific app functionality (either manually provided or automatically extracted), and systematically enumerates the combinations of use cases, yielding high-quality test inputs.
