Techniques for automated classification of mobile applications (“apps”) battery consumption using simulation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for automated classification of mobile app battery consumption using simulation includes an app analyzer for performing an analysis of the app; and a classification engine for classifying the app into a battery consumption category based on the analysis performed using the app analyzer. In one embodiment, a process for automated classification of mobile app battery consumption using simulation includes receiving an app; performing an automated analysis of the app; and generating a battery consumption score for the app based on the automated analysis of the app.
