Abstract

When preparing test cases and running the test the existing GUI test tools require many tester`s interventions. To cope with such problem this paper suggests a new method to build test cases for GUI test. This method identifies the potential control flows within the GUI and constructs the GUI map. The UIA library in .NET Framework is used to extract information about the GUI controls and the GUI map is constructed by the extracted information. Test scenarios are generated from the extracted information about the GUI controls using the grouping mechanism. Based on the grouping mechanism, various test scenarios which are test cases in GUI tests can be made by replacing a GUI control by another one in the same group. The existing GUI test tools do not support the concept of test coverage. Since, however, our method survey which part of the GUI map is executed or not during running the test, the test coverage can be measured by using the GUI map.
