规则驱动的Android应用DFS测试技术
|
摘要
GUI自动化测试是Android应用研究领域的重要组成部分,针对Android应用的GUI测试技术得到了广泛的研究。其中,基于DFS算法的GUI遍历测试技术得到了广泛的应用。然而,现有的DFS测试技术却仍然具有效率低下、覆盖率较低的问题。文中提出了结合外部预定义规则来驱动DFS自动化遍历的改进方法,以提高DFS自动化遍历的效率和覆盖率;基于规则驱动的改进方法实现了RDTA测试工具,进行了与Monkey以及无规则驱动下的DFS的对比实验,验证了该方法的有效性。
Automated GUI testing is the important part of Android application research field.Several technologies for automated Android GUI testing have attracted wide attention.Testing technology based on DFS exploration has been extensively used among them.However,the existing DFS testing technology is still inefficient and has low testing coverage.This paper proposed an improved approach by driving the DFS automated exploration with external predefined rules to improve the efficiency and coverage.A testing tool called RDTA based on the proposed approach was implemented and the performance of RDTA was evaluated by comparing to Monkey and original DFS without rules.The result verifies the effectiveness of the approach.
