圖形化使用者介面(Graphical User Interface,簡稱GUI)的測試,一般是由測試人員先編寫測試腳本(Test Script),然後再自動執行測試腳本,以確認待測程式(Application Under Test,簡稱AUT)是否能夠正常運作。然而,對於一個大型的AUT而言,其測試腳本不免是複雜且龐大的。因此,測試人員需要一個良好的測試腳本編輯工具,以減少維護這些測試腳本所需付出的成本。本論文提出一套以表格呈現與編輯測試腳本之方法,並且實作出一個表格式的腳本編輯器,讓測試人員能夠藉由平常熟悉的表格型式來開發測試腳本。另外,本論文以實驗檢驗表格型式的測試腳本是否有助於提升其可讀性,並檢驗本論文提出之工具在編輯腳本上是否更具便利性。
To perform Graphical User Interface (GUI) Testing, a tester usually writes a test script for the GUI and then executes the test script to verify whether the Application Under Test (AUT) works correctly. However, for a large AUT, the test script may become huge and complicated. Therefore, the tester needs a good test-script editing tool to reduce the maintenance cost. This thesis proposes a method of presenting and editing test scripts in tabular formats, and implements a tabular script editor. The proposed method allows the tester to use tabular formats, which are frequently used in everyone’s daily life, to develop test scripts. In addition, two experiments are conducted to verify whether a tabular test script does help improve readability and whether the proposed testing tool is more convenient.
