The Android Security Evaluation Framework (ASEF) analyzes apps in an interesting way. It moves each app into a separate test environment, called the Android Virtual Device, and then sends the app a series of random gestures to see how it behaves. The tool also will gather a pre-determined set of data about the way that phone is working, through network logs and other data stores. Parth Patel of Qualys unveiled ASEF at Black Hat last week and the framework is now available for download from Google Code.
