Comparative study on correctness and time taken of test case generation using EFG and BXT techniques for GUI application

The previous decade witnessed the increased popularity and rapid development of graphical user interface (GUI). GUI is a type of computer– human interface thatallows users to communicate with their computers. This interface has significantly contributed to the popularity of recently developed softwa...

GUI testing involves checking the screens for controls, such as menus, buttons, icons and all types of bars, including tool bars, menu bars, dialog boxes and software windows.

In term of elapsed time, EFG and BXT spent 0.16 millisecond (ms) and 0.18 ms in the paint application respectively and 0.14 millisecond (ms) and 0.17 millisecond (ms) in the Present application respectively. Therefore, EFG is slightly faster than BXT in generating test cases. Overall, BXT is better than EFG in generating GUI test cases. 2015-09 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1382/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1382/2/MOSTAFA%20NSER%20BRKA%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1382/1/24p%20MOSTAFA%20NSER%20BRKA.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1382/3/MOSTAFA%20NSER%20BRKA%20WATERMARK.pdf text en validuser mphil masters Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology
