Abstract

The increasing demand of Android applications compels the developers to think and develop applications with efficient use of memory usage, CPU utilisation and UI rendering speed. The literature survey reveals that very few works have been reported for measuring the performance of various android applications. In this paper the performance analysis of most of the popular mobile applications have been carried over using Eclipse with SDK Tools and Android Virtual device. CPU utilisation, Memory usage and User Interface (UI) rendering speed have been considered as the performance metric. The performance of most commonly used apps like WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat & Imo have been analysed. The experimental result shows that (i) Utilisation of CPU in case of Wechat is more as compared with WhatsApp, Viber, & Imo. (ii) In case of Memory Usage, java.lang.string class found as a major problem suspect for memory leak problem. (iii) And for Rendering Speed in case of viber is taking lesser time as compared with WhatsApp, Viber, & Imo.
