移动应用GUI测试技术综述
|
摘要
移动应用的GUI测试不同于传统桌面端软件测试,主要介绍移动应用的GUI测试技术,清晰给出GUI测试的定义,然后依次从GUI测试框架、GUI测试技术、GUI测试工具、GUI测试的评估方法、GUI测试技术挑战等几个方面详细阐述关于GUI测试技术。最后,通过经验分析的研究方法对目前针对移动应用的GUI测试技术进行分析,总结出针对移动应用的GUI测试的研究现状以及未来的研究方向。
The GUI test of mobile application is different from the traditional desktop software test. Mainly introduces the GUI test technology of mobile application, clearly defines the definition of GUI test, and then evaluates from GUI test framework, GUI test technology, GUI test tool and GUI test. Methods, GUI testing technical challenges and other aspects elaborate on GUI testing techniques. Finally, analyzes the current GUI testing techniques for mobile applications through empirical analysis methods, and summarizes the research status and future research directions of GUI testing for mobile applications.
