Building a GUI Test Automation Framework Using the
Data Model. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 164
GUI test automation is a major challenge for
software testing and test automation. Most of the
current GUI test automation tools are partially
automated. They require the involvement of the users
in several stages of the testing process.
This research is about developing a framework and an
application for user interface testing with the
least user involvement. Fully user interface testing
that does not need user supervision is not a
practical solution. Users can be involved and are
required to test some aspects of the user interface
validation. GUI?s code has some characteristics that
distinguish it from the rest of the project code.
Generating test cases from the GUI code requires
different algorithms from those usually applied in
test-case generation. We developed several GUI test
generation automated algorithms that do not need any
user involvement and that ensure code or branch
coverage in the generated test cases. The test cases
are generated from an XML GUI model or tree that
represents the GUI structure. GUI execution and
verification is accomplished through simulating the
user interactions and then comparing the output of
the execution to the input.
