Abstract
Embedded devices, such as smart phones, can execute an application for performing a set of discrete tasks. To evaluate applications for security vulnerabilities, the application is executed and monitored. Part of this process involves the time-consuming process of performing or invoking the various user interface elements included in the application. An automated interaction system automatically, without human intervention, simulates various gestures that can be performed within each view of the application. The automated interaction system further identifies unactivated elements within subviews of the views and tracks its interactions to ensure that all of the identified UI elements within each view and subview are activated.
