This paper presents experiences in model-based graphical user interface testing of Android applications. We present how model-based testing and test automation was implemented with Android, including how applications were modeled, how tests were designed and executed, and what kind of problems were found in the tested application during the whole process. The main focus is on a case study that was...
This paper presents User Interface Test Automation of Silverlight and Moonlight web applications. Silverlight is a new technology in Dot Net 3.5 framework developed by Microsoft. Moonlight is an equivalent technology for Linux operating system. Now a day most of the interactive and attractive web pages are developed using Silverlight and Moonlight. So in is paper we initially concentrating on user...
Simply having a large beta test cannot consistently provide stability and performance to game servers, which are major issues in online game development. Therefore, test automations have been used in order to reduce the testing time of online games by simulating highly repetitive tasks and emulating server loads. However, in previous approaches, black box testing and scenario-based testing are not...
Combinatorial testing in VDM involves the automatic generation and execution of a large collection of test cases derived from templates provided in the form of trace definitions added to a VDM specification. The main value of this is the rapid detection of run-time errors caused by forgotten preconditions as well as broken invariants and post-conditions. Trace definitions are defined as regular expressions...
The User Interfaces of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) present a richer functionality and enhanced usability than the ones of traditional Web applications which are obtained by means of a successful combination of heterogeneous technologies, frameworks, and communication models. Due to its increased complexity, dynamicity, and responsiveness, testing the user interfaces of an RIA is more complex...
In the automotive industry requirements are often still composed of natural language text, spreadsheets, drawings, and formal models. Models are often used to describe partial aspects from the whole set of requirements. Hence, flaws and vagueness in requirements are common and hard to discover. Upcoming standards like ISO 26262 request the automotive industry to be more strict and formal on the requirements...
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a new generation of software architectures that attracts attention as promising way for smooth integration of loose coupled software applications. In addition to all benefits, it adds new dimensions to the complexity of designing, building, testing, deploying and maintaining Service-based applications (SBA). Research in verification and validation applied...
Test-driven development (TDD) - an established approach in business IT software development - enables test case generation based on models early in the development process. Applying TDD and models in automation systems engineering (ASE) can increase testing effectiveness and efficiency. A key question is which models are suitable for ASE application. UML models support software and systems engineering...
Software components provide an increasing part of added value in automation systems and become more complex to construct and test. Test-driven development (TDD) of software systems has been successfully used for agile development of business software systems. Test cases guide the system implementation and can be executed automatically after software changes (continuous integration & build strategy)...
Field testing of software is necessary to find potential user problems before market deployment. The large number of users involved in field testing along with the variety of problems reported by them increases the complexity of managing the field testing process. However, most field testing processes are monitored using ad-hoc techniques and simple metrics (e.g., the number of reported problems)...
In the literature of model-based testing (MBT), different testing scenarios are introduced. These scenarios mainly differ in the origin and content of test models which has an impact on testing activities. For example, if developers models are directly used as test models, the efforts for test model creation will be low, however the evaluation of test results will need more efforts. We investigated...
Test-driven development of GUIs is currently very difficult. On the one hand, to avoid frequent updates of the tests, test-driven development requires a degree of stability in the application under development, whereas GUIs are very likely to change during development. On the other hand, the easiest way of creating GUI tests - using a capture/replay tool - requires the GUI to exist. This paper introduces...
Today GUIs are not exclusive of desktops and web applications. They can be found in a widely variety of embedded systems such as cellular phones, TVs, cars, etc. GUI testing is an emergent approach to assure software quality. In this paper, we show how to evaluate some GUI testing techniques and the importance of controlled experiments in order to have statistical confidence. Furthermore, as GUI design...
Development of large and complex software intensive systems with continuous builds typically generates large volumes of information with complex patterns and relations. Systematic and automated approaches are needed for efficient handling of such large quantities of data in a comprehensible way. In this paper we present an approach and tool enabling autonomous behavior in an automated test management...
This paper proposes a new simulation-based interface testing automation tool(SITAT) which generates automatically test cases for interface testing of the robot software component and executes the interface test with the generated test cases where the simulator is used for simulation of the activity of a H/W module instead of the real H/W module. This paper verifies the effectiveness of the suggested...
This paper presents a S/W test automation for mobile device by using a hardware emulation-based simulator and an event manager. The hardware emulation provides a virtual hardware which enables the entire S/W stack for smartphone to run on execution environment isolated from host operating system. The event manager can capture and playback all events generated from the virtual hardware and the emulated...
F-Secure is a global leader in providing security as a service through ISP's and mobile operators [1]. The company first used Agile more than 5 years ago and is still in the transition and building the true Agile culture. Test automation (TA) is one of Agile practices that the company has been focusing on and improving lately [2]. This paper describes how TA has been implemented in the company, benefits...
Increased diversity and complexity of software systems derived the need for test automation. Test Automation is the use of software for automatic execution of tests, comparison of results with expected outcome, setting up preconditions for test and test reporting functions. Model based testing is a test automation approach that generates and maintains more useful and flexible tests from explicit descriptions...
Software testing requires a test oracle that makes an assessment of the correctness of the tested program behaviour, based on a priori created model. While test automation is a popular research topic, there is only a limited amount of work in the subject of automating the process of creating test oracles. This lack of test oracle automation greatly limits the usefulness of automated testing techniques...
Automation systems software must provide sufficient diagnosis information for testing to enable early defect detection and quality measurement. However, in many automation systems the aspects of automation, testing, and diagnosis are intertwined in the code. This makes the code harder to read, modify, and test. In this paper we introduce the design of a test-driven automation (TDA) component with...
