Bug report reproduction is an important, but time-consuming task carried out during mobile app maintenance. To accelerate this task, current research has proposed automated reproduction techniques that rely on a guided dynamic exploration of the app to match bug report steps with UI events in a mobile app. However, these techniques struggle to find the correct match when the bug reports have missing or inaccurately described steps. To address these limitations, we propose a new bug report reproduction technique that uses an app’s UI model to perform a global search across all possible matches between steps and UI actions and identify the most likely match while accounting for the possibility of missing or inaccurate steps. To do this, our approach redefines the bug report reproduction process as a Markov model and finds the best paths through the model using a dynamic programming based technique. We conducted an empirical evaluation on 72 real-world bug reports. Our approach achieved a 94% reproduction rate on the total bug reports and a 93% reproduction rate on bug reports with missing steps, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art approaches. Our approach was also more effective in finding the matches from the steps to UI events than the state-of-the-art approaches.
