Abstract
Functional testing of GUIs can be automated using a test oracle derived from the GUI’s specification and from a restricted set of
randomised test data. As test data, a set of randomly distorted test objects seems to work well, especially starting as we do with a
‘perfect’ object and then distorting this more and more as the test progresses. The number of test cases needed seems to be much
smaller than that reported in other random testing papers. More work is needed to see if the approach is generally applicable: if
so, the test engineer can spend his time writing GUI specifications at a high level of abstraction, rather than hand-generating test
cases.
