Development of an Improved GUI Automation Test System Based on Event-Flow Graph
Yongzhong Lu, Danping Yan, Songlin Nie, Wang Chun · 2008
A more highly automated graphic user interface (GUI) test model, which is based on the event-flow graph, is proposed. In the model, an automation tool is first used to carry out reverse engineering for a GUI test sample so as to obtain the event-flow graph. Then an improved ant colony optimization algorithm and a goal-directed searching approach are adopted to create GUI test sample cases. Moreover, a corresponding prototype system based on Microsoft UI automation framework is developed.
