摘要

传统上,移动应用程序的端到端测试要么手动执行,要么使用测试脚本自动执行。然而,手工GUI测试是昂贵和缓慢的,并且测试脚本对于GUI更改是脆弱的,导致高维护成本。无脚本测试试图解决与GUI测试相关的成本问题。现有的无脚本移动测试方法似乎不适合行业的需求,特别是ING的需求。本研究提出了一个开源TESTAR工具的扩展,以支持Android和iOS应用程序的无脚本GUI测试。我们在ING的工业环境中对该工具进行了初步验证。从验证中,我们确定扩展的TESTAR在代码覆盖方面优于Android的另外两种最先进的无脚本测试工具,并且实现了与ING中已经使用的脚本测试自动化相似的性能。此外,我们看到无脚本的方法覆盖了现有测试脚本没有覆盖的应用程序的测试部分,显示了方法的互补性,为测试人员提供了更多的价值。

Scriptless GUI Testing on Mobile Applications
Traditionally, end-to-end testing of mobile apps is either performed manually or automated with test scripts. However, manual GUI testing is expensive and slow, and test scripts are fragile for GUI changes, resulting in high maintenance costs. Scriptless testing attempts to address the costs associated with GUI testing. Existing scriptless approaches for mobile testing do not seem to fit the requirements of the industry, specifically those of the ING. This study presents an extension to open source TESTAR tool to support scriptless GUI testing of Android and iOS applications. We present an initial validation of the tool on an industrial setting at the ING. From the validation, we determine that the extended TESTAR outperforms two other state-of-the-art scriptless testing tools for Android in terms of code coverage, and achieves similar performance as the scripted test automation already in use at the ING. Moreover, we see that the scriptless approach covers parts of the application under test that the existing test scripts did not cover, showing the complementarity of the approaches, providing more value for the testers.
