Software testing in industrial practice is essential for ensuring the quality and usability of software products. However, traditional testing methods often focus solely on functional correctness, overlooking important aspects of usability and user experience. This research paper proposes an integrated framework that combines Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles and Visual Graphical User Interface (GUI) techniques to enhance software testing practices in industrial settings. The framework encompasses GUI design principles, visual feedback techniques, and GUI testing strategies, integrating them into the software testing process. Design considerations, implementation strategies, and the benefits and challenges of integrating HCI and visual GUI techniques are discussed. A case study demonstrating the application of the integrated framework in an industrial context is presented, highlighting the effectiveness of the approach in improving software quality and user satisfaction. Practical implications for industrial adoption and future research directions are also discussed. Overall, the integrated framework offers a comprehensive approach to software testing that prioritizes user-centric design principles and enhances the usability and effectiveness of software products in industrial practice.
