This chapter gives an overview of the recent advances in GUI testing. Considering the increasing popularity and fast software development cycles (e.g., desktop and mobile applications), GUI testing gains more importance as it allows us to verify the behavior of a system from the user’s perspective. Thus, it can quickly uncover relevant bugs, which a user could face. Traditional capture-replay G...

A graphical user interface (GUI) with Tkinter was created in Python to facilitate data analysis for electrochemical techniques cyclic voltammetry and impedance. The GUI lets the select a technique, measurement(s), eventually customize plots.

Graphical User Interface (GUI) is essential to programming, as is any other characteristic or feature, due to the fact that GUI components provide the fundamental interaction between the user and the program. Thus, we must give more interest to GUI during building and development of systems. Also, we must give a greater attention to the user who is the basic corner in the dealing with the GUI. ...

Although the GUI is the most prominent part of a software system, GUI design, particularly GUI layout, i.e. dimensioning and arranging screen elements within a screen, is somewhat neglected by software development. While the interactional parts of user interfaces can be modeled using existing UML diagrams and elements, GUI layout cannot. Additionally, the work of graphic designers and its resul...

This paper describes work carried out to prototype a GUI to support schema evolution using class versions. Class versions used for schema evolution require a more sophisticated GUI than schema editors (for schema design), because the database is populated an because support is required to browse and maintain the class versions. Current systems for class versioning require exception handlers or ...

The widespread recognition of the usefulness of graphical user interfaces GUIs has established their importance as critical components of today's software. Although the use of GUIs continues to grow, GUI testing has remained a neglected research area. Since GUIs have c haracteristics that are diierent from those of conventional software, such as user events for input and graphical output, techn...

ÐThe widespread use of GUIs for interacting with software is leading to the construction of more and more complex GUIs. With the growing complexity come challenges in testing the correctness of a GUI and its underlying software. We present a new technique to automatically generate test cases for GUIs that exploits planning, a well-developed and used technique in artificial intelligence. Given a...

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are important parts of today’s software and their correct execution is required to ensure the correctness of the overall software. A popular technique to detect defects in GUIs is to test them by executing test cases and checking the execution results. Test cases may either be created manually or generated automatically from a model of the GUI. While manual test...
