Abstract: With the rapid development of mobile application's market, mobile application compatibility testing has become a most prominent and urgent problem. We propose a systematic method of selecting adaptive mobile devices for mobile application compatibility testing; it is based on K-mean algorithm. Firstly, the compatibility feature tree model of mobile application is constructed, and every leaf node of feature tree is set some testing values by experience. So initial value of K and cluster centers are set. Secondly, a layered and recursive algorithm is described for calculating feature distance between mobile devices. Thirdly, all mobile devices can be clustered automatically with K-mean algorithm, and testing devices can be selected from different clusters according to popularity market share of devices. Finally we test two selected mobile applications with proposed method, proving that the method is effective in selecting mobile devices for compatibility testing of mobile applications.
