画面遷移を伴うシナリオ分岐型アプリケーションのための実行時テスト手法の提案

Abstract

In development of software which become larger-scale and more complicated every year, the importance of software test grows more and more. However, some domains where it is difficult to apply any software test exist. One of such domains is a GUI test. In order to conduct a GUI test, the method of "preparation of the complicated test code in con-sideration of various states", "the software test in manual operation", and "automating using expensive software" is taken. Since those methods are very high-cost, the method of describing a software test easily is desired. However, it is generally difficult to test to all the software containing GUI at the runtime. Then, in this paper, we propose runtime test approach for scenario branch applications with screen transitions like ATM screen or software installers. Proposed method can conduct software test for such specific applications easily and at low cost. It is also shown that most performance degradation by applying the proposed method to actual applications cannot be found.
