Abstract

The IDATG (Integrating Design and Automated Test Case Generation) specification technique and tool is introduced. It is designed for the automated generation of test cases during the testing of interactive industrial applications. In addition to checking the application's usability, IDATG supports both the specification of the behavior of a user interface and the generation of two types of test case i.e. for GUI coverage and for checking the usability of the application. The test procedure for both cases is based on a particular test process model and on a formal language for representing the user interface. The tool architecture comprises a set of visual editors, a language interpreter and a test case generator. The interface concept on which the components are based enables the tool to be integrated into industrial platforms for defining and executing test cases. A first cost/benefit analysis indicates a significant reduction of effort for test case specification and test result analysis.

IDATG:用于交互式软件自动测试的开放工具

介绍了IDATG (integrated Design and Automated Test Case Generation，集成设计与自动化测试用例生成)规范技术和工具。它是为交互式工业应用程序测试期间自动生成测试用例而设计的。除了检查应用程序的可用性之外，IDATG还支持用户界面行为的规范和两种类型的测试用例的生成，即GUI覆盖和检查应用程序的可用性。这两种情况的测试过程都基于特定的测试过程模型和表示用户界面的正式语言。该工具体系结构包括一组可视化编辑器、一个语言解释器和一个测试用例生成器。组件所基于的接口概念使工具能够集成到用于定义和执行测试用例的工业平台中。第一个成本/收益分析表明测试用例说明和测试结果分析的工作量显著减少。
