DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RESEARCH STUDY:The following is more detailed information about this study, in addition to the information listed above.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:This study collects context data from phones so that we may better understand real world context patterns and incorporate them into testing with the aim to improve the quality of mobile applications.

TIME COMMITMENT:Participants will install the context data collection app which takes approximately 5 minutes. Participants will let this app run in the background of their phone for one month.

STUDY PROCEDURES:Participants will download and install the data collection app. They will then let the app run in the background of their mobile device for one month. The app will automatically upload the data to our server.

You will be asked to install an application on your phone that would run non-intrusively in the background all through the one-month duration of the study. The app will collect data gathered from

POSSIBLE BENEFITS:This study is expected to produce vital information and insight that may affect the thoroughness of testing processes for mobile applications. It is hoped that your contributions is expected to help improve the general reliability and efficiency of mobile applications built for Android phones. The data is expected to be used for research within UNT and external organizations to advance their applications and testing processes.

POSSIBLE RISKS/DISCOMFORTS:Possible reduction in battery life and increase in device memory usage.
