Abstract

Model-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing keeps its importance in software GUI testing. Manual testing is time-consuming and highly error prone. There are several test models in general use that the software testing community has been working on for many years. This article examines the different models used in model-based GUI testing. To create test cases and combine them into a single model, a method for how to convert several accepted models into Event Sequence Graphs (ESG) has been proposed, and a case study illustrating its use is presented. In addition, this article introduces an approach involving generating and running test sets over an ESG model obtained by the transformation from other models. Experimental studies have shown that this proposed approach is appropriate and effective. In this context, the application of the proposed approach enabled to receive the highest mutation score for 20 mutants obtained from the ESG.

Özet

Model tabanlı Grafiksel Kullanıcı Arayüz (GUI) testi, yazılım GUI testi içerisinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Manuel test, zaman alıcı bir iştir ve büyük ölçüde hataya açıktır. Yazılım test topluluğunun uzun yıllardır üzerinde çalıştığı ve genel kullanımda olan birkaç test modeli vardır. Bu makale, model tabanlı GUI testinde kullanılan farklı modelleri incelemektedir. Test senaryoları oluşturmak ve bunları tek bir modelde birleştirmek amacıyla, kabul gören birkaç modelin Olay Sıra Çizgelerine (ESG) nasıl dönüştürüleceğine ilişkin bir yöntem önerilmiştir ve bunun kullanımını örnekleyen bir vaka çalışması sunulmuştur. Ayrıca bu makalede diğer modellerden dönüşümle elde edilen ESG modelinden test kümelerinin üretilmesi ve çalıştırılmasını içeren bir yaklaşım tanıtılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalar öne sürülen bu yaklaşımın uygun ve etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu kapsamda ESG’den elde edilen 20 mutant için öne sürülen yaklaşım en yüksek seviyede mutasyon skoru sonucunu vermiştir.
