Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Input Contract Testing of Graphical User Interfaces(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2016) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, Fevzi; Linschulte, MichaelUser inputs are critical for the security, safety, and reliability of software systems. This paper proposes a new concept called user input contracts, which is an integral part of a design-by-contract supplemented development process, and a model-based testing approach to detect violations of user input contracts. The approach generates test cases from an input contract integrated with graph-based model of user interface specification and applies them to the system under consideration. The paper presents a proof-of-concept tool that has been developed and used to validate the approach by experiments. The experiments are conducted on a web-based system for marketing tourist services to analyze input robustness of system under consideration with respect to user input contracts.Book Part Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 8Advances in Model-Based Testing of Graphical User Interfaces(Academic Press Inc., 2017) Belli, Fevzi; Beyazıt, Mutlu; Budnik, Christof J.; Tuğlular, TuğkanGraphical user interfaces (GUIs) enable comfortable interactions of the computer-based systems with their environment. Large systems usually require complex GUIs, which are commonly fault prone and thus are to be carefully designed, implemented, and tested. As a thorough testing is not feasible, techniques are favored to test relevant features of the system under test that will be specifically modeled. This chapter summarizes, reviews, and exemplifies conventional and novel techniques for model-based GUI testing.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Model-Based Contract Testing of Graphical User Interfaces(Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 2015) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Linschulte, Michael; Belli, Fevzi; Müftüoğlu, ArdaGraphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are critical for the security, safety and reliability of software systems. Injection attacks, for instance via SQL, succeed due to insufficient input validation and can be avoided if contract-based approaches, such as Design by Contract, are followed in the software development lifecycle of GUIs. This paper proposes a model-based testing approach for detecting GUI data contract violations, which may result in serious failures such as system crash. A contract-based model of GUI data specifications is used to develop test scenarios and to serve as test oracle. The technique introduced uses multi terminal binary decision diagrams, which are designed as an integral part of decision tableaugmented event sequence graphs, to implement a GUI testing process. A case study, which validates the presented approach on a port scanner written in Java programming language, is presented.

In order to countermeasure this well-known vulnerability issue, this paper focuses on input validation of graphical user interfaces (GUI). The approach proposed generates test cases for numerical inputs based on GUI specification through decision tables. If boundary overflow error(s) are detected, the source code will be analyzed to localize and correct the encountered error(s) automatically.
