The graphical user interface (GUI) is an important component of many software systems. Past surveys indicate that the development of a GUI is a significant undertaking and that the GUI’s source code often comprises a substantial portion of the program’s overall source base. Graphical user interface creation frameworks for popular objectoriented programming languages enable the rapid constructio...

Of late, there has been a rise in the use of touchscreens in many handheld devices, one in particular being the smartphone. Accompanying this is a myriad of smartphone platforms, each of which boasts a user-friendly GUI in its own accord. One of the major aspects of smartphones is the GUI, since this is the aspect with which users interact. This paper is centered on GUI design theory and explor...

The establishment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises two major parts, the systematically distributed and wirelessly connected nodes and the base station to demonstrate the information collected by the network. To enhance the features of the wireless sensor network, a smart GUI is designed and implemented at the base station, to monitor the environmental parameters, for which the Wireles...

We present a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy, intuitive control of a group of mobile robots moving in formation, and we give a short description of the general, local, distributed formation algorithm underlying the GUI. In spite of the high level of abstraction of the GUI, it captures the full functionality of the algorithm. The GUI has been tested with robots running in a simulator, an...

This work presents the implementation of real time GUI library for FPGA based run time reconfigurable system that is targeted to ML507 board. The presented work implements floating point arithmetic core as a reconfigurable IP and operands can be provide to the above core with GUI running on display monitor. User can interact with GUI with keyboard and mouse. GUI allows user to change the functi...

Interactive theorem provers such as Isabelle are powerful tools, but are di cult and time-consuming to learn. If a suitable Graphical User Interface (GUI) is provided for such a tool, it can speed up the learning process considerably, leading to greater productivity for users of the tool, and increased takeup in industry. In this paper, we discuss the user-interface aspects of Isabelle, and for...

System testing of software applications with a graphical-user interface (GUI) front-end requires that sequences of GUI events, that sample the application’s input space, be generated and executed as test cases on the GUI. However, the context-sensitive behavior of the GUI of most of today’s non-trivial software applications makes it practically impossible to fully determine the software’s input...

Mostly of today’s computer users interact with the software through a graphical user interface (GUI). In software engineering, software testing and quality have become a topic of major concern. Software testing is today an important stage in software projects and GUI testing is also crucial to the solution ́s quality. Nevertheless, GUI testing is not an easy task, it ́s very time consuming and to...

Model-based GUI testing (MGT) is emerging as a promising approach for testing applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). Currently, test models in MGT approaches are close to the GUI implementation with limited ability to represent abstract actions. This paper introduces the Action-Event Framework (AEF), a MGT framework. This framework helps testers abstract away from low-level details...

In typical software applications, users access application data using GUI widgets. There is an important, but little explored, link between visualization and security: when the application data is protected by an access-control policy, the application GUI should be aware of and respect this policy. For example, a widget should not give users options to execute actions on the application data th...
