Abstract

Testing Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) is difficult, nvolving many states, inputs andevents.We have previously reported a new method for testing GUIs that is scalable andconcentrates on user sequences of GUI objects and selections that collaborate, called complete interaction sequences (CIS), and that produce the desired response for the user called the responsibility.In this paper we will extend this approach by investigating the use of memory tools to detect missing effects and CIS sequences, investigating interactions between CIS sequences, and providing empirical studies of five different GUI systems.

Generating Test Cases for GUI Responsibilities Using Complete Interaction Sequences
ISSRE '00: Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering

Testing Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) is a difficult problem because the GUI possesses a large number of states to be tested; the input space is extremely large due to different permutations of inputs and events, which affect the GUI, and complex GUI ...
Towards a pattern language for model-based GUI testing
EuroPLoP '14: Proceedings of the 19th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) have become popular as they appear in everydays' software. GUIs have become an ideal way of interacting with computer programs, making the software friendlier to its users. GUIs have grown, and so has the usage of UI ...
Firewall Regression Testing of GUI Sequences and their Interactions
ICSM '03: Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance

Testing Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) isdifficult, involving many states, inputs andevents. Another serious problem is that in testingGUIs, not all effects created by the testing areobservable. We have previously reported ascalable method for testing ...
