Interactive System Testing
Alexandre Canny · 2018
The increasing variety of Input/Output devices and functionalities in interactive systems raises concerns regarding the way they are tested. Indeed, while most of the existing testing techniques are suitable for interactive systems supporting WIMP interactions, only few of them support, partially, the testing of highly interactive systems (e.g. smart speakers or smartwatches). We claim that techniques and tools that provides support for the testing of highly interactive systems must take into account the entire architecture of interactive systems. This includes the variety of I/O devices and their drivers, permissions at the operating system level, applications running on the system, etc. In this doctoral consortium paper, we present an ongoing PhD in which we propose to define an approach and tools to support the testing of all the elements of the architecture of highly interactive systems.
