摘　　要：For an Android app tester,it is often needed to trigger the specific behaviors of an app.However,most of the existing Android GUI exploration tools only pursue high code coverage,rather than triggering the specific behaviors of an app[1,2].It inevitably leads to the unnecessary time consumption in the exploration process of an app if the testers only care about some specific behaviors of this app.For an Android app tester,it is often needed to trigger the specific behaviors of an app.However,most of the existing Android GUI exploration tools only pursue high code coverage,rather than triggering the specific behaviors of an app[1,2].It inevitably leads to the unnecessary time consumption in the exploration process of an app if the testers only care about some specific behaviors of this app.
