Automated GUI Test Case Generation

GUI (Graphical User Interface) testing is complex and inefficient in nowadays software testing. This paper proposed a framework for automated GUI test case generation. The framework includes a reverse engineering of executive GUI to create GUI information and event-flow model. According to these information and model, an ant colony algorithm is applied to generate test cases. Our study shows that by identifying valid event interactions, the generated test cases are capable of finding deep faults without infeasible problems, the configuration of different parameters for ant colony and the good design of our framework provide flexible interfaces to control test suites.
