  Scalable and comprehensive analysis of rapidly evolving mobile device
application traffic is extremely important but a challenging problem for the
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engines to perform effective policy management. We
present a test framework in which a test driver can automate/orchestrate
traffic generation by invoking appropriate method (intent) of real mobile
applications (as opposed to traffic replay) in regression or functional testing
of mobile application traffic analysis engines in a virtualized environment,
without real hardware. We demonstrate the concept by automating a real-time
Skype call through a DPI engine in a virtual test setup using Android VMs.
