A test automation solution on GUI functional test

Although it is widely believed that software quality will be improved by the use of automated testing, automation is still not well-off in industry today. There are quite a few issues of traditional software test automation mode, for example, high cost, knowledge barriers, and management troubles. In the paper, a test automation solution on GUI functional test is proposed. The solution integrates test case generation and selection, test case execution, and test reporting to facilitate testing. It introduces the concept of test driver which is designed to take over the communication between test cases and the execution engine. At last, some enhancements are proposed for future work.
