Generation of test scripts for application with GUI optimized for hand execution

Alexey Barantsev, Sergey Groshev, Vitaliy Omelchenko

The article describes the method for constructing sequences of user actions that are optimized for manual execution, based on the model in the form of a diagram of states and transitions. Scenarios for the implementation of the manual requires, first, when the GUI is the only way to interact with the application, but its implementation does not provide or make economically viable software emulation effects through it. Secondly, the test kit to perform the manual may be necessary to assess the practicality of the graphical user interface to verify its compliance with selected standards and user acceptance testing
