Abstract

This paper describes a GUI testing toolset. This toolset was designed to augment the primary testing activities found in a normal GUI testing cycle. It includes an automatic test case and test automation generator, static binary analysis, a GUI change tracking tool and a comprehensive reporting mechanism. An empirical study on a complex system demonstrates that the toolset could greatly reduce the effort spent on developing test automation and tracking GUI changes during a software products development cycle.
