User interfaces look different across web, desktop, and mobile platforms — not just in layout, but in how buttons, icons, and text appear. This makes it hard for deep learning models trained on one platform to accurately detect UI components on another. In this paper, we evaluate the cross-domain generalization of three modern object…
This article examines the use of image augmentation techniques to improve icon detection in mobile interfaces, a critical task due to the small size of graphical user interface (GUI) elements and the insufficiency of comprehensive datasets. It evaluates whether diversifying the dataset or using specific augmentation methods alone can enhance detection performance. The study…
Model View Controller (MVC) is one of the most widespread and used software architecture in client-side software. We are interested in automatically inferring and analyzing MVC architectures from mobile application codebases that could help to identify the architectural problems earlier in the development process, offering insightful knowledge for both software developers, architects, and the…
Mobile applications are one of the most used pieces of software nowadays, as they continue to expand, the architecture of those software systems becomes more important. In the fast-paced domain of the mobile world, the applications need to be developed rapidly and they need to work on a wide range of devices. Moreover, those…
In the last few years, we have seen an increase in the number of mobile applications and their usage. The architectural pattern and correctness represent a major factor in the success of a mobile project and its lifecycle. Since architectural patterns can not be imposed on a codebase without an external validation system, we…
Interacting with businesses, searching for information, or accessing news and entertainment sources all have a common feature, they are predominately accessed nowadays from mobile applications. The software architecture used in building those kinds of products represents a major factor in their lifecycle, costs, and roadmap, as it affects their maintainability and extensibility. In this…
