|The widespread use of GUIs for interacting with software is leading to the construction of more and more complex GUIs. With the growing complexity comes challenges in testing the correctness of a GUI and its underlying software. We present a new technique to automatically generate test cases for GUIs that exploits planning, a well developed and used technique in artiicial intelligence. Given a...

“Nightly/daily building and smoke testing” have become widespread since they often reveal bugs early in the software development process. During these builds, software is compiled, linked, and (re)tested with the goal of validating its basic functionality. Although successful for conventional software, smoke tests are difficult to develop and automatically rerun for software that has a graphica...

With the widespread deployment of broadband connections worldwide, software development and maintenance are increasingly being done by multiple engineers, often working around-theclock to maximize code churn rates. To ensure rapid quality assurance of such software, techniques such as “nightly/daily building and smoke testing” have become widespread since they often reveal bugs early in the sof...

Is it possible to crowdsource categorization? Amongst the challenges: (a) each worker has only a partial view of the data, (b) different workers may have different clustering criteria and may produce different numbers of categories, (c) the underlying category structure may be hierarchical. We propose a Bayesian model of how workers may approach clustering and show how one may infer clusters / ...

The increasing importance of identifying lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) populations is a key driver in changes to demographic data collection representative surveys youth. While such population-based are rare, Growing Up Ireland (GUI), an Irish, government-funded, longitudinal survey, includes sexual orientation gender identity (SOGI) measurements. This qualitative study respond...

An important component of Early Warning Systems (EWS) for man-made and natural hazards is the command and control unit’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). All relevant information of an EWS is concentrated in this GUI and offered to human operators. However, when designing the GUI, not only the user experience and the GUI’s screens are relevant, but also the frameworks and technologies that the G...

In many software applications, users access application data using graphical user interfaces (GUIs). There is an important, but little explored, link between visualization and security: when the application data is protected by an access control policy, the GUI should be aware of this and respect the policy. For example, the GUI should not display options to users for actions that they are not ...

The world of manufacturing has shifted its level to the era of space age machining. The purpose of this investigation is to develop Fuzzy based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for modeling of laser machining conditions. The developed fuzzy based GUI is expected to overcome the major problems faced by most of the manufacturing industries nowadays with the increased number controllable parameters ...

Despite the ubiquity of software applications that employ a Graphical-User Interface (GUI) front-end, functional system testing of these applications has remained, until recently, an understudied research area. During “GUI testing,” test cases, modeled as sequences of user input events, are created and executed on the software by exercising the GUI’s widgets. Because each possible sequence of u...

OBJECTIVES The Health Level Seven Interface Engine (HL7 IE), developed by Kyungpook National University, has been employed in health information systems, however users without a background in programming have reported difficulties in using it. Therefore, we developed a graphical user interface (GUI) engine to make the use of the HL7 IE more convenient. METHODS The GUI engine was directly conn...
