Abstract

We describe a technique that addresses the needs of “Nightly/daily building and smoke testing” of software that has a graphical user interface (GUI). The key to our success is automation of structural GUI analysis, test case generation, test oracle creation, code instrumentation, test execution, coverage evaluation, regeneration of test cases, and their re-execution. We empirically evaluate the time taken and memory required for GUI analysis, test case and test oracle generation, and test re-execution.
