Automatic GUI Model Generation: State of the Art

Modeling has been one of the most significant obstacles to why model-based testing has not been taken into use by industry on a large scale. Therefore, generating models automatically is an attractive way of thinking. In well-structured application domains, such as graphical user interface (GUI), this method can be used successfully. This paper gives a state-of-the-art overview of GUI model generation methods. The paper analyzes the methods from the point of view of model-based testing of GUI applications, where generated GUI models are used for generating the tests.
