Coverage Criteria for GUI Testing Based on Directed Graph for Window Navigation

  • Received Date: 20 Sep 2005
  • Publish Date: 25 Aug 2006
  • To evaluate the adequacy of a test suite for testing a program with graphical user interfaces(GUI),new coverage criteria based on directed graph for window navigation was proposed.The vertexes in the graph represent windows of GUI,and the directed edges represent user inputs on windows.The graph models the interaction between user and GUI.Top window coverage criterion,user input coverage criterion and length n user input sequence coverage criterion were proposed based on the graph.Algorithms were presented to compute the coverage rate on every coverage criterion.Experimental results show that the test suites satisfying the proposed criteria can reach a statement coverage rate as high as 90%,and a GUI fault detection rate as high as 79%.
