In recent times, software industry has seen the immense expansion in its popularity. Graphical user interface (GUI) is of the most important and ground breaking factor behind the exponential growth of acceptance of software systems. Beside this popularity, software organizations are trying best to optimize the quality of delivered products. In software development life cycle, software testing is one major phase having focus towards improved software quality. Increased attention towards GUI in development helped in materialization of GUI testing as a vital branch of software testing. Manual efforts to test GUI have revealed a lot of problems, which, ultimately led towards automation of GUI testing. This paper presents a novel approach towards automation of GUI test coverage analysis based on an evolutionary algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Another objective that has been tried to achieve is keeping number of test cases at minimum side. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
