    Random Test Generation From Regular Expressions for Graphical User Interface (gui) Testing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019) Kılınççeker, Onur; Silistre, Alper; Challenger, Moharram; Belli, Fevzi
    Generation of test sequences, that is, (user) inputs - expected (system) outputs, is an important task of testing of graphical user interfaces (GUI). This work proposes an approach to randomly generate test sequences that might he used for comparison with existing GUI testing techniques to evaluate their efficiency. The proposed approach first models CUI under test by a finite state machine (FSM) and then converts it to a regular expression (RE). A tool based on a special technique we developed analyzes the RE to fulfill missing context information such as the position of a symbol in the RE. The result is a context table representing the RE. The proposed approach traverses the context table to generate the test sequences. To do this, the approach repeatedly selects a symbol in the table, starting from the initial symbol, in a random manner until reaching a special, finalizing symbol for constructing a test sequence. Thus, the approach uses a symbol coverage criterion to assess the adequacy of the test generation. To evaluate the approach, mutation testing is used. The proposed technique is to a great extent implemented and is available as a tool called PQ-Ran Test (PQ-analysis based Random Test Generation). A case study demonstrates the proposed approach and analyzes its effectiveness by mutation testing.

    Models in Graphical User Interface Testing: Study Design
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020) Silistre, Alper; Kılınççeker, Onur; Belli, Fevzi; Challenger, Moharram; Kardaş, Geylani
    Model-based GUI testing is an important concept in Software GUI testing. Manual testing is a time-consuming labor and heavily error-prone. It has several well-accepted models that Software Testing community has been working and contributing to them for many years. This paper reviews different models used in model-based GUI testing and presents a case study with a proposed approach for how to convert several well-accepted models to ESG (Event Sequence Graphs) to generate test cases and execute them with an aim to consolidate past and future works in a single model. © 2020 IEEE.

    Towards Uniform Modeling and Holistic Testing of Hardware and Software
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Kılınççeker, Onur; Belli, Fevzi
    This paper introduces an approach to uniform modeling and testing of hardware and software systems and their faults. As an example, for hardware under consideration, designs at a behavioral level will be used, implemented in Hardware Description Language (HDL). For software, an example will be borrowed from a graphical user interface design. Both examples will be modeled by finite state machines. The mutation of these models leads to lucid hardware and software fault models, respectively. Original models and their mutants will then be used to generate test cases for positive testing and negative testing, respectively, forming a holistic test strategy. A positive test is supposed to validate the system under legal (expected, regular) circumstances, whereas a negative test checks the behavior of the system under illegal (unexpected, irregular) situations. Non-trivial examples are used to validate and analyze the approach with respect to uniform modeling and testing capability. © 2019 IEEE.

    Android Uygulaması Testi için İdeal Test Ön Çalışması
    (CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2018) Mercan, Gizem; Akgündüz, Evrim; Kılınççeker, Onur; Challenger, Moharram; Belli, Fevzi
    This paper proposes a hybrid method combining well-known holistic test and mutation testing in software testing for Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing of an android application. Moreover, this hybrid method satisfies requirements of ideal testing that is well known and important in software testing. Presence and absence of GUI based faults are tested within this work experimentally and comparatively in the scale of given or constructed model. First step of the method is modeling the given GUI of android application by Finite State Machine (FSM) and then converting this FSM to Regular Expression (RE). Then, test sequences are generated from a context table that is obtained analysis of the RE model. This process defines first part of the Holistic Testing namely positive testing. In second part called negative testing, the test sequence generation procedure is applied mutants of the FSM obtained after applying selected mutation operators. The generated test sequences from original and mutant models are executed on mutant and original android applications respectively. Test sequences are filtered by using pre-defined selection criteria for both positive and negative testing to achieve ideal test suites that are satisfying requirements of the ideal testing.
