What this paper does with SQLancer
The single mention places SQLancer's work as the database-side precedent: the paper notes that existing studies have detected CRUD errors in database management systems, but that those approaches are not tailored for Android apps, where the errors surface through the application's own data layer rather than through SQL. The citation is author-year, so the tool is not named directly.
This work finds data manipulation errors in Android applications by exploring the app through its user interface, guided by scenes -- coherent groups of screens -- so that create, read, update and delete operations are exercised in realistic sequences rather than at random.
