Abstract Details

2010, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer Engineering.
This thesis involves designing and implementing a complex GUI system using a drag-and-drop GUI tool, followed by modeling the system as a set of finite state models (FSMs) to be used as the basis for developing a suite of design and implementation tests using the concept of complete interaction sequences (CIS). The next step is identify new transitions within the FSMs corresponding to implementation tests that were not also design tests, together with defects and surprises only detected by this subset of implementation tests. These additional transitions and their associated faults (sum of defects and surprises) are then analyzed to determine the root cause of how and when they were introduced into the system and whether or not they are due to the GUI tool used to produce the GUI code. Suggestions are given on how to prevent this unintended behavior introduced by the GUI tool, not the GUI design.
