Going one step further, we could verify whether the screen behaves as intended:. However, a graphical user interface is only one of the possible types of user interfaces available.
This becomes easier to understand with an example. It sure does! If it makes uses of different colors to express a variety of information, you need to check that those colors match the specifications.
The same is true for progress bars. Going one step further, you should also verify the utility correctly parses the received arguments and respond to them as expected. End-to-end testing, as it names suggests, consists of testing an application in its entirety, from one end the user interface to the other the database or other storage mechanism.
Also, E2E testing requires a database plugged in, populated with high-quality test data. That way, besides potentially speeding up your tests, you gain the ability to test the GUI regardless of the real APIs being ready or not. Who performs GUI testing? How do they do it? The most basic way of performing GUI testing is by merely using the application manually.
This type of testing is typically performed by dedicated full-time testers. So, in the sample app we covered earlier, we could perform all of those checks by manually verifying each one. Manual testing is, of course, not super-efficient.
However, manual testing still has a role to play in a modern testing strategy. You just have to find the right balance. Speaking specifically about GUI testing, manual testers could own the more subjective aspects of the interface, such as its look and feel and usability. One of the most common ways in which GUI automated testing manifests itself is through record-and-playback techniques.
As its name suggests, this technique relies on having a tester use a specialized tool to record a testing session. The result of this recording can then be replayed afterward.
Each project consists of project items that perform automatic testing operations or assist in performing these operations.
After you click the Finish button, a new project suite will be generated and the NotepadTest project will be added to it. We will use the following project items:. Now that the NotepadTest project is created, we can add the tested application to it. To add Notepad as the tested application, do the following:. Picture 3. Browsing the Notepad Executable. Picture 4. EXE path.
After we have specified Notepad as the tested application, we can start to automate our functional test with it, such as starting, minimizing, stopping the application and other functional testing actions. Picture 5. The NotepadTest Project Structure. We will describe how to create these tests in the following section. The NameMapping project item contains a collection of name mapping settings, that is, it defines which custom name corresponds to which object.
This project item is automatically created when you are recording automated tests with TestComplete. You can also add this item to the project manually before recording automated tests. When running automated tests, TestComplete generates a test log and adds it to the FunctionalTesting Logs item. According to our plan, we need to create a functional test for checking the text input feature within Notepad. The easiest way to get started doing this is to record all functional testing actions as a keyword test.
Picture Create Property Checkpoint Dialog. Selecting a Property for Checking. Specifying Comparison Parameters. If the typed text does not match the value that was recorded, the Property Checkpoint operation will post an error message to the test log. To improve your functional test, you can also add the following operations manually:.
You can also give a meaningful name to the functional test, for instance, "CheckingTextInput". To do this, rename the appropriate test in the Project Explorer panel. Now we should automate the functional testing process. We need to create two more functional tests to run and stop Notepad. Then we will specify all three functional tests as the test items for the project. In this case, TestComplete will sequentially execute these tests when we run the project.
To do this, you can perform the following actions:. In UI testing, we test the command line interface with every means of interaction. In GUI testing, we focus on the graphic interface with which the user engages.
In our time, automation has fallen into many areas. It is also used for software testing, in particular for interface testing. However, the basic difference between GUI testing automation and manual GUI tests is evident in the tools used to carry them out. Also, manually testing any GUI requires more time and effort than using test automation.

We first must register initial test procedures and subsequently replay them in the software being tested. This way helps to determine some unwanted conditions within the system. Charts and decision tables are examples of techniques for. For any GUI events that you undergo, consider two fundamental principles of user-system interaction:.
To execute proper tests, we need to get some GUI automation tools ready, prepare test cases that will determine the steps, and work according to a checklist. Tools refer to items that enhance testing when the testing plan is set to the last test analysis steps. Here are examples of some tools for GUI tests:. The checklist contains all the test cases, which are the actions that testers execute in the process of checking functionalities and features. For example:. The advantage of a graphical user interface is testing the stark improvement in useability for the average person.
