Abstract

The invention provides an automatic GUI testing method based on UML activity diagrams. The method includes the first step of carrying out user behavioral modeling, and carrying out modeling on possible operation behaviors of a user on a GUI to generate corresponding UML activity diagrams, the second step of establishing a script library, wherein the script library includes all functions and parameters needing to be called in the test executing process, and the functions and the parameters are in one-to-one correspondence with activities in the UML activity diagrams generated in the user behavioral modeling step, the third step of generating testing scripts, performing traversal on the UML activity diagrams generated in the user behavioral modeling step to obtain feasible execution sequences, and according to the execution sequences and the mapping relation between the UML activity diagrams and the function in the script library to generate the testing scripts, the fourth step of executing testing, calling the testing scripts to automatically execute the testing and recording execution process and execution results, and the fifth step of analyzing the results, obtaining the testing coverage rate according to the execution results of the corresponding scripts, and analyzing occurrence reasons of program errors through playback.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a testing method for a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular to a GUI testing method based on a UML (Unified Modeling Language, Unified Modeling Language) activity diagram. Background technique [0002] At present, there are two commonly used GUI testing methods, namely recording / replaying and random testing. [0003] Recording / playback means that experienced testers manually execute the test process, and use relevant tools to record the execution process of the program to be tested. Once a program execution error occurs, the cause of the problem can be found out by replaying the test process. However, the effectiveness of recording / playback testing depends on the experience of testers, it is difficult to guarantee test coverage, and it also requires a lot of labor. As programs become more complex and the industry is under increasing pressure to bring products to market as quickly as possible, the traditional method of...
