How to test graphical user interfaces

An approach for automatically testing GUIs in the MATLAB environment has been proposed. We developed a software tool that tests GUIs by simulating the user through an action recorder. We proposed a heuristic test procedure: providing random input to GUI, but guiding the randomness with predefined weights assigned to the user controls. The weights change during the testing process, as the controls are activated. The errors are collected for later investigation.
