A Test Case Generation Method and a Tool Implementation for Acceptance Testing of GUI Software

Abstract

This paper proposes a simple and easy to follow black-box test case generation method for acceptance testing of GUI software. The idea of this method is from white-box path-based testing method. The zero-one optimal path selection method is used to find an optimal path set for a selected coverage criterion. Five reduction rules are used to greatly reduce computation time. A testing tool has been developed to facilitate the operation of the proposed method and an example is used to prove the applicability of the proposed method.
