Abstract
A significant challenge in application of model-based
testing (MBT) is that manually designing the test models
requires considerable amount of effort and deep expertise
in formal modeling. Reverse engineering can be used to
automate parts of the modeling process but in
applications with a graphical user interface (GUI), the
dynamic behavior of the GUI is difficult to extract with
static reverse engineering. Therefore we propose to use
dynamic reverse engineering for automatically generating
GUI models suitable for MBT. In this paper we compare
various approaches for automated GUI modeling including
an empirical tool study, propose a GUI component
classification suitable for GUI automation, and present
some examples of GUI automation strategies for efficient
modeling of GUI applications.
