In the evolving landscape of mobile applications, effective and efficient testing methods are crucial for ensuring high-quality user experiences. This paper introduces a novel end-to-end mobile testing technique designed to enhance exploratory testing by ...

The quality of Virtual Reality (VR) apps is vital, particularly the rendering quality of the VR Graphical User Interface (GUI). Different from traditional two-dimensional (2D) apps, VR apps create a 3D digital scene for users, by rendering two distinct ...

Automation testing is widely used in the functional testing of web applications. However, during the evolution of web applications, such web test scripts tend to break. It is essential to repair such broken test scripts to make regression testing run ...

Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing is a relevant step of the software development process which is not often performed thoroughly due to its unappealing nature, to the inherent fragility of test cases, and to the fact that test cases – composed ...

GUI Test suites suffer from high fragility, in fact modifications or redesigns of the user interface are commonly frequent and often invalidate the tests. This leads, for both DOM- and visual-based techniques, to frequent need for careful maintenance ...

Layout-based (2nd Generation) and Visual (3rd Generation) GUI testing are two very common approaches for mobile application testing. The two techniques expose complementary advantages and drawbacks, and the literature on GUI Testing has highlighted the ...

Graphically-rich applications such as games are ubiquitous with attractive visual effects of Graphical User Interface (GUI) that offers a bridge between software applications and end-users. However, various types of graphical glitches may arise from ...

Nowadays, Apple iOS and Android are two most popular platforms for mobile applications. To attract more users, many software companies and organizations are migrating their applications from one platform to the other, and besides source files, they also ...

GUI testing is one of the most important and significant testing approaches among all different software testing techniques. Most software errors are captured and detected through the software GUI layer. Manual testing for GUIs has its problems. It ...

This paper presents a reinforcement learning approach to automated GUI testing of Android apps. We use a test generation algorithm based on Q-learning to systematically select events and explore the GUI of an application under test without requiring a ...

The increasing variety of Input/Output devices and functionalities in interactive systems raises concerns regarding the way they are tested. Indeed, while most of the existing testing techniques are suitable for interactive systems supporting WIMP ...

Background. Evidence suggests that mobile applications are not thoroughly tested as their desktop counterparts. In particular GUI testing is generally limited. Like web-based applications, mobile apps suffer from GUI test fragility, i.e. GUI test classes ...

Mobile apps are ubiquitous, operate in complex environments and are developed under the time-to-market pressure. Ensuring their correctness and reliability thus becomes an important challenge. This paper introduces Stoat, a novel guided approach to ...

Modern software systems often communicate with their users by graphical user interfaces (GUI). While the underlying business logic may be fully covered by unit tests, the GUI mostly is not. Despite the widespread use of capture and replay tools, which ...

For testing of graphical user interfaces many tools exists. The aim of this work is a statement regarding the advantages and disadvantages of various testing tools with regard to their use in the economic context to be taken. It is compared, inter alia,...

The popularity of Android applications (apps) has grown significantly in the last decade. These apps typically have short time-to-market release which may imply lesser time to check the quality of application particularly in the testing phase. Numerous ...

In this paper, we propose an automatic GUI testing approach for Android applications. With the goal of exploring unexecuted event handlers of the application under test as quickly possible, our approach constructs and maintains a dynamic GUI model of ...

Automated testing of web applications reduces the effort needed in manual testing. Old 1st generation tools, based on screen coordinates, produce quite fragile test suites, tightly coupled with the specific screen resolution, window position and size ...

A crucial problem in GUI testing is the identification of accurate event sequences that encode corresponding user interactions with the GUI. Ultimately, event sequences should be both feasible (i. e., executable on the GUI) and relevant (i.e., cover as ...

The behavior of a GUI object in a multi-window application often depends on GUI objects in the same window and other windows. To confirm correct behavior under all GUI appearances is essential to ensure software acceptance and remains a challenging ...
