Abstract – GUI (Graphical User Interface) test cases contain much richer information than the test cases in non-GUI testing. Based on the information, the GUI test profiles can be represented in more forms. In this paper, we study the modeling of the test profiles in GUI testing. Several models of GUI test profiles are proposed. Then we present a methodology of studying the relationship between the test profiles and the fault detection in GUI testing. A control scheme based on this relationship that may be able to improve the efficiency of GUI testing is also proposed.

Keywords – GUI testing, test profile modeling, test case characteristics

I. INTRODUCTION
Due to the widespread usage of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in various software applications/systems, GUI testing has attached much importance to software development. GUI testing means the testing of GUI applications, including the testing of GUIs’ function and structures, as well as the underlying code behind GUIs. GUI applications have many features different from non-GUI applications: the inputs to a GUI application are events; the execution results of a GUI application depend on not only the current user input, but also the history of user operations; the input domain of a non-trivial GUI application is extremely large or even infinite. These features make GUI testing different with the testing of non-GUI applications.

摘要—GUI（图形用户界面）测试用例包含的信息比非GUI测试用例丰富得多。基于这些摘要信息，GUI测试资料可表现在更多的形式中。在本篇论文中，我们研究建模试验剖面在GUI中的测试。几种型号的GUI测试型材相继被提出。然后我们提出了一个关于研究在测试剖面和故障检测中的方法论来进行图形用户界面测试。在此基础上，一个基于这种关系的控制计划也被提议，这个计划也许可以有效地提高GUI测试的效率。
关键词—GUI测试，测试剖面模型，测试用例特点
一、引言
由于图形用户界面在各种软件应用程序/系统中广泛使用，GUI测试重视软件的开发。图形用户界面测试就是GUI应用程序的测试，包括测试图形用户界面的功能和结构，以及在图形用户界面后面潜在的代码部分。GUI应用程序有许多不同于非GUI应用程序的特点：GUI应用程序的输入事件；执行一个GUI应用程序的结果不仅取决于当前的用户输入，而且也取决于用户操作的历史；输入域的一个非平凡的GUI应用程序是非常大的甚至是无穷的。这些特点使GUI测试不同于非GUI应用程序测试。
