随着移动设备的普及,移动应用程序获得了广泛使用.然而,移动应用的界面和逻辑功能日益复杂,增加了
软件测试的难度.目前,主流的移动应用界面测试技术存在着许多不足:人工编写脚本和录制回放技术需要消耗
大量的人力成本,自动化测试在移动应用界面测试的应用场景上受到了诸多限制.针对这些问题,本文提出了一
种基于手绘制导的移动应用界面测试方法.该方法定义了一种简单直观且具有较强表达能力的手绘测试语言.
测试人员仅需按照该语言定义的语法,在待测应用程序的界面图像上作简单绘制,即可准确表达其测试意图.本
文框架会将这些绘制的元素图形自动转换成测试模型,并高效生成符合要求的测试用例.由于用户的手绘图形
明确定义了当前的测试意图,因此本文方法不需要对所有可能的事件组合进行遍历,从而使得生成的测试用例
更为有效且具有针对性.我们以近年来在相关文献中已经用作移动应用界面测试的评估用例集为基准来评估
本文方法的测试效果,评估结果表明:在提供很少人力成本的条件下,手绘图形所表达的用户测试意图在制导移
动应用界面测试上能够起到关键作用.
