The Fujaba tool suite supports the development of models and the generation of code, but it does not cover the development of tools with graphical user interfaces. In this paper, we report on ongoing work in constructing Fujaba-based graphical editors with GEF, an Eclipse-based framework for constructing graphical editors.

A composite-metaphor interface is a computer interface consisting of a combination of two or more metaphors. As computer systems have become more sophisticated, researchers have proposed the use of multiple metaphors to design computer systems because they would better match the characteristics of complex target systems; however, due to the difficulty of designing interface metaphors and limite...

The reader is introduced to the concept of automated regression tests in general as well as testing of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in particular. Some of the special problems related with the latter kind of tests are described. We then proceed to describe a special tool to help covering the enormous test space usually connected with complex GUIs: the PATHS tool, originally proposed in [1]....

The model-view-controller pattern is used to keep a data model and its views consistent. Usually there is a one-to-one correspondence between the data in the model and its representation in the views, which is sometimes too inflexible. We propose to add so-called data mappings between the model and its views. Data mappings are components that can be plugged together hierarchically. They can per...

Software testing is usually used to report and/or assure about the quality, reliability and robustness of a software in the given context or scenario where it is intended to work. This is specially true in the case of user interfaces, where the testing phase is critical before the software can be accepted by the final user and put in execution mode. This paper presents the design, and the later...

Graphical Interval Logic is a modal logic for reasoning about time in which the basic modality is the interval. The logic differs from other logics in that it has a natural intuitive graphical representation that resembles the timing diagrams drawn by system designers. We have implemented an automated deduction system for Graphical Interval Logic that includes a graphical user interface and an ...

In the context of an e↵ort to develop methodologies to support the evaluation of interactive system, this paper investigates an approach to detect graphical user interface bad smells. Our approach consists in detecting user interface bad smells through model-based reverse engineering from source code. Models are used to define which widgets are present in the interface, when can particular grap...
