Abstract: Software testing is pivotal in ensuring the quality and reliability of technological products. This paper presents the development of PRIMA, an automated tool designed to enhance the homologation review process for Android releases. PRIMA systematically evaluates test artifacts produced by Google's trade-fed tools, utilizing a predefined set of rules to verify the accuracy and completeness of the results. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our tool, real-world Security Maintenance Release (SMR) tests were conducted within our company. The results underscore PRIMA's capacity to significantly streamline the Android release homologation process, reducing software release approval times by up to 54%. By automating these processes, PRIMA conserves time and resources for development teams and facilitates large-scale projects, such as Android, by efficiently managing multiple software artifacts in software release validation.
