Automatic test method and device for graphic user interface software

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for testing graphic user interface software. The method comprises the following steps: analyzing the graphic user interface software, obtaining a function demand of the software through an interface element in a graphic user interface, and extracting a boundary value of the interface element; generating a test case according to the obtained function demand of the software and the boundary value of the interface element; automatically testing all functions of the graphic user interface software through the test case. According to the automatic test method and the device for the graphic user interface software, the graphic user interface software can be automatically tested quickly, accurately and efficiently through the automatically generated test case.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software function testing, in particular to a graphical user interface software automatic testing method and device. Background technique [0002] Graphical user interface software is widely used for its simple operation, intuitiveness and convenience. Compared with embedded software, graphical user interface software is designed with many interface elements. Users can realize specified functions by operating the elements on the interface. Graphical user interface software contains many windows, and each window contains many elements. The different combinations of these windows and elements constitute different functions of the software. In order to test this kind of software, at least these software functions must be covered. However, the variety of windows and elements in GUI software and the complexity of their combinations lead to a large number of software functions and a huge testing workload. , it...

Problems solved by technology

This method has certain theoretical value, but there are the following problems in specific applications: 1. Software requirements need to be manually generated by testers according to software requirements specifications and other documents, and the workload is heavy; 2. Software requirements often change, and software requirements and The latest version of software is difficult to update synchronously, resulting in outdated software requirements and poor accuracy and consistency of software requirements; 3. It is difficult to realize automation

Since the software requirements specification is expressed in plain text and is informal, it is difficult to automatically obtain relevant information

Some methods that can realize the automation of test case design require that software requirements be described in a formal language such as UML, and the workload of describing software requirements in a formal language similar to UML is very large, which is also the current method. Root cause of impracticality
