+# Introduction 
+
+**DroidMate-2** is a platform to easily assist both developers and researchers to customize, develop and test new test generators.
+
+DroidMate-2 can be used without app instrumentation or operating system modifications, as a test generator on real devices and emulators for app testing or regression testing. 
+Additionally, it provides sensitive resource monitoring or blocking capabilities through a lightweight app instrumentation, out-of-the-box statement coverage measurement through a fully-fledged app instrumentation and native experiment reproducibility.
+
+This file pertains to DroidMate-2 source. You should have found it at DroidMate repository root dir, denoted in this file as `repo`.
+
+
+# How DroidMate works 
+
+DroidMate-2 automatically explores behavior of an Android app by interacting with its GUI. It repeatedly reads the device state, makes a decision and interacts with the GUI, until some termination criterion is satisfied. This process is called an **exploration** of the **Application Under Exploration (	
+
+It can be run from command line (as en executable Jar) or extended through its API. It reads Android apps (.apk files) and outputs an app state model, generated on-the-fly, as well as a varied set of reports containing information extracted from the exploration output.
+
+Currently, DroidMate-2 can click and long-click the AUE’s GUI, restart the AUE,  press ‘back’ button and it can terminate the exploration. Any of this is called an **exploration action**. DroidMate’s **exploration strategy pool** decides which exploration action to execute based on the current UI state, derived from the XML representation of the currently visible device GUI (**GUI snapshot**), the visual UI state (**GUI screenshot**) and the set of Android framework methods that have been called after last exploration action (**API calls**). All components of DroidMate-2 can be used out-of-the-box or extended with custom features.
