“…As a consequence, our study and testing practice [9] [10] [11] [12] has demonstrated the magnificence of data-driven in engineering application software, and the grey-box approach is proposed for dealing with the difficulty of software testing for GUI based on window frame in our recent research [2].…”

In this paper, the test suite construction for GUI (Graphical User Interface) software may be executed centered on grey-box approach with the prior test design of window access controls for unit testing, including front-end method of white box and follow-up black box method for integration testing. Moreover, two key opinions are proposed for the test suite construction for GUI software, the first one is that the "Triple-step method" should be used for unit testing with the prior disposing of data boundary value testing of input controls, and another one is that the "Grey-box approach" should be applied in integration testing for GUI software with necessary testing preparation in the precondition. At the same time, the testing of baseline version and the incremental testing should be considered for the test case construction to coordinate with the whole evolution of software product today. Additionally, all our opinion and thought are verified and tested with a typical case of GUI software-PQMS (Product Quality Monitoring Software/System), and results indicate that these methods and specific disposing are practical and effective.

“…As we all known, types and applied areas are distinguished for factual software system. In fact, integration testing may be relative to not only software self but also both software and hardware [12]; at the same time, it may refer to not only functionality but also data and information [11]; even more it may not only consider running in local machine but also consider linking to computer network [12]. All these features require adoption of differentiating strategy.…”

“…Recent studies [2] [10] has deeply investigated the unit testing for new testing organization-"Pair-wise" mode, and a previous work [11] has proposed the method of test suite construction for smoke test which can be taken as a special integration testing. Consequently, this study will discuss the strategy and methodology of integration testing for GUI software including code analyzing, test design of baseline version and increment change, testing execution for "crosstesting", etc.…”

In this paper, by means of effective testing practices, main strategies of integration testing for GUI software, including differentiating strategy for distinguished system, strategy of personnel organization, incremental testing strategy based on baseline version, testing strategy of circulating loop through the whole life, and the strategy of test suite construction, were briefly investigated. Moreover, for the code analysis, the FTA (Fault Tree analysis) is proposed to deal with the software change in regression testing. For test suite constructing, the constructing methods for baseline version and the incremental change are deeply discussed, in which main points focus on the testing strategy based on "Sheet/Form", the "Grey-box approach" for integration testing process, and the application of the improved STD (State Transform Diagram) in state testing. At the same time, the suite construction of integration testing for two types, including small scale program and large scale software, is analyzed and discussed in detail. For testing execution, the specific method based on "Cross-testing" is investigated. Concurrently, by a lot of examples, all results of testing activity indicate that these strategies and methods are useful and fitted to integration testing for GUI software.

“…Further, as the key content of software testing activity, the test suite construction should be considered with more concern, so previous work [6] on test suite construction of smoke test has shown the magnificence of data-driven in engineering application software. And a more recent study [10] has provided the constructing method of grey-box for test suite of baseline package.…”

In this paper, the new organization for unit testing embedding pair-wise mode is proposed with the core thought focused on the cooperation of programmer and tester by "cross-testing". The typical content of unit testing for the new organizing mode should have three aspects, including self-checking, cross-testing and independent-testing. For cross-testing, executing "pair-wise" mode, mainly tackles data testing, function testing and state testing, which function testing must be done by details and state testing must be considered for completeness. With the specializing of independent-testing, it should be taken as more rigid testing without arbitrariness. Consequently, strategy and measure are addressed for data testing focusing on boundary testing and function/state testing. And organizing method of procedure and key points of tackling unit testing are investigated for the new organizing mode. In order to assess the validity of our study and approach, a series of actual examples are demonstrated for GUI software. The result indicates that the execution of unit testing for the new organizing mode is effective and applicable.
