Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes downloading respective instances of an enterprise mobile application to a plurality of mobile devices. The instances of the enterprise mobile applications, while executing on respective mobile devices, capture, for each session, a session log that includes indications of ordered user actions occurring during the session, and optionally time intervals between user actions and/or user attributes. Captured session logs stored at and are mined by one or more servers to discover a particular pattern or sequence of user actions that occurred across multiple, different user sessions. If the number and/or rate of occurrences of the particular pattern is greater than a threshold, a new test case corresponding to the pattern is automatically generated and added to a suite of test cases for the UI functionality of the enterprise mobile application. The updated test suite may be automatically executed on a test version of the enterprise mobile application.
