For ensuring the reliability of Android apps, there has been tremendous, continuous progress on improving automated GUI testing in the past decade. Specifically, dozens of testing techniques and tools have been developed and demonstrated to be effective in detecting crash bugs and outperform their respective prior work in the number of detected crashes. However, an overarching question "How effectively and thoroughly can these tools find crash bugs in practice?" has not been well-explored, which requires a ground-truth benchmark with real-world bugs. Since prior studies focus on tool comparisons w.r.t. some selected apps, they cannot provide direct, in-depth answers to this question.
