A variety of applications that are accessible through app markets provide useful features and functions. However, those applications can present many GUI bugs due to the deficiency of testing processes. Even though various approaches have been developed for mobile app testing, GUI bugs in applications are still difficult to be identified due to the absence of efficiency, lack of automation, and necessity of access to the source code. In this paper, we propose an automated black-box testing method for efficient GUI bug detection. Our experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better code coverage and uncovers GUI bugs when compared with existing black-box testing called Monkey.

NUI(Natural User Interfaces) has been developed through CLI(Command Line Interfaces) and GUI(Graphical User Interfaces). NUI uses many different input modalities, including multi-touch, motion tracking, voice and stylus. In order to adopt NUI to legacy GUI applications, he/she must add device libraries, modify relevant source code and debug it. In this paper, we propose a gesture-based interface model that can be applied without modification of the existing event-based GUI applications and also present the XML schema for the specification of the model proposed. This paper shows a method of using the proposed model through a prototype.
