Abstract(in English) For both users and developers, it is important to select an appropriate application from similar ones. There are some ways to know the differences in terms of features in several similar applications, but it is not easy. In this paper, we present a prototype of a comparison tool which identifies features corresponding to differences between API calling sequences extracted from two Android applications. We conducted a case study to evaluate the prototype tool. The result shows that the proposed tool achieves comparing applications.
