Automated testing of graphical user interfaces

Objetivo

The goal of this PIE is to standardise, optimise and automate our methods for testing Graphical User Interfaces (GUI).
Currently our GUI-Systems are only tested manually with high expenditures in manpower and costs. The completeness and effectiveness of these tests are strongly dependent on the intuition of the corresponding tester; the results are extremely difficult to quantify and qualify. These deficits will be corrected by the experiment, resulting in the commercial benefits below:

Improved calculability of testing costs due to standardised test procedures and on the basis of the expenditure variables accumulated during the experiment.
Reduced testing costs and times due to test standardisation and automation.
Lower guarantee and warranty costs because testing is more thorough and effective, thus leading to lower residual error rates.
Lower total development costs and shorter time-to-market.

THE EXPERIMENT
We will first expand our know-how about formal test specifications, test methods, and the methodology of the GUI test and ensure that this know-how is state-of-the art. On this basis we will select the most promising methods for the GUI test and demonstrate these within the company.
We will select a commercially available tool which allows us to apply the test methods selected in Action 1 to the baseline project. We will procure the selected test tool and introduce it to those employees involved in the PIE and the baseline project.
We will evaluate these new testing methods and test tool in the baseline project. For this purpose, during the test phase of the baseline project, we will conduct tests both according to our traditional manual methods and utilising the new, semi-automated or automated methods.
The old and the new methods will be compared. The criteria for this comparison will be established at the beginning of the PIE. If this analysis shows the superiority of the new methods, we will begin using these throughout the company at the conclusion of the PIE.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
We anticipate the following results:

Software developers and testers will be familiar with state-of-the-art methods for the formal specification of GUI Tests.
A test-notation will be selected and put into use which permits the test specifications to be transformed into the syntax required by the test tools with a minimum amount of manpower.
Templates will be available for the efficient specification and notation of the tests. If necessary, templates will also be available for the specification of the corresponding system requirements.
GUI-Tests will be executable and recordable almost solely by means of tools/automatically.
The test documentation will be generated by the testing tool.
An appropriate test tool will be available and have been tested in routine use.
