A Model Based Testing Approach for Mobile Device

Lots of research work has been done to achieve automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing. Model-based testing as the most popular way supports automated test case generation and execution. But building such a model usually costs lots of resource in the entire testing process. And the methods of automated model deriving are closely related to the programming language or specific OS. In this paper, we proposed a new approach of software GUI modeling for mobile device using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which is responsible for image processing to extract character information. Case study shows that our approach is capable of analyzing most of the GUI windows, and generating the corresponding model with less work and less constraint.
