Ferramentas visuais de teste de interfaces gráficas para checar conformidade de requisitos não funcionais

Abstract

VGT (Visual GUI Testing) tools can be used to automate tests that are performed manually through the graphical user interface. Such tools combine the use of scripts with image recognition, and their use can save time and reduce the occurrence of test-related errors. In this study, the benefits of using a VGT tool to check non-functional requirements during software deployment are evaluated through a case study performed within the industry. The results indicate that the use of such tool has brought benefits to the check of non-functional requirements, however, due to some flaws presented, it is concluded that the image recognition technology used by the tool should be improved.
