An Automated Testing Framework for Statistical Testing of GUI Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is known to be inherently more difficult and laborintensive to functionally test software applications that employ a graphical user interface front-end, due to the vast GUI input space. We propose an automated testing framework for functional and statistical testing of GUI-driven applications, using a combination of two rigorous software specification and testing methods and integrating them with an automated testing tool suitable for testing GUI applications. With this framework we are able to achieve fully automated statistical testing and software certification. We report an elaborate case study that demonstrates a pathway towards lowered cost of testing and improved product quality for this type of applications.

The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...

Automated GUI testing based on behavioral model is one of the most efficient testing approaches. By mining user usage, test scenarios can be generated based on statistical models such as Markov chain. However, these works require static analysis before starting the exploration which requires too much prerequisites and time. In this work, we propose a behavioralbased GUI testing approach for mob...
متن کاملDART: A Framework for Regression Testing "Nightly/daily Builds" of GUI Applications
“Nightly/daily building and smoke testing” have become widespread since they often reveal bugs early in the software development process. During these builds, software is compiled, linked, and (re)tested with the goal of validating its basic functionality. Although successful for conventional software, smoke tests are difficult to develop and automatically rerun for software that has a graphica...
