As the number of mobile apps increases exponentially, automation of tests performed in the app development process is becoming more important. Until the app is released, iterative verification is performed through various types of tests, and this study was conducted focusing on the GUI test among various types of tests. This study is meaningful in that it can contribute to the stable app distribution of the developer by suggesting the development direction of the GUI test. To develop Android's GUI test tool, I collected basic data before presenting the development method by researching Android's UI controls and Material design guideline. After that, for the existing GUI test automation tool, two tools based on screen capture test and four tools based on source code analysis test were studied. Through this, it was found that existing GUI test tools don't consider visual design, usability, and component arrangement. In order to supplement the shortcomings of existing tools, a new GUI test automation tool development method was presented based on the basic data previously studied.

DO-330 Software Tool Qualification Considerations is a guideline for development of tools used to develop/verify software and hardware installed on aircraft. And among several processes, the verification process is very crucial as it occupies a large proportion for DO-330. Especially, in order to qualify tool with high safety level, test objectives must be performed with independence, accordingly, more time, cost, and manpower are required than other objectives. In addition, even if the test cases or test procedures are well defined, the higher the complexity of the test the higher probability of human error occurs. In this paper, we propose Script-based Test Automation Agent software structure for efficient DO-330 verification process of A661UAGEN tool developed by Hanwha Systems. Compared to the test performed manually by the test engineer, testing time of the Script-based Test Automation Agent is reduced by 87.5% and testing productivity is increased by 43.75%.

This study attempts to derive critical success factors and prioritize activities for implementing the automation of software test. Software testing proceeds in five steps of test plan, test case design, test scripting & test environment setup, test execution & evaluation, and test closure. From the literature, twenty influence factors in the five steps were identified. Focus Group Interviews with ten experts in software testing selected fourteen factors on the basis of importance and feasibility. Some factors were further divided to clarify their meanings and the number of influence factors finally became twenty one. A survey on the influence factors was conducted with 75 IT professionals. An importance-feasibility analysis was applied to the survey responses and classified the influence factors into four groups of essential factors, critical factors, low priority factors, and minimal factors. Essential factors include objectives for test automation, strategies for test automation, test automation training, test automation education, setting up test automation environment, setting up test environment, test automation tool selection. Critical factors include management's continued support, management's continued interest, role of automation engineers, and skills of automation engineers. This result suggests that a lot of efforts should be put into SW test plan for the successful SW test automation and SW automation should proceed in consideration with the priorities and resource consumption.

In this paper, we propose and develop a test automation program tool that automates GUI based testing using black box testing technique in Windows environment. The main features of the proposed test automation program tool are as follows. First, an error condition is designated as an image, a screen is captured for each test step, and an error message is detected through comparison of image similarity. Second, the proposed system supports various setting options such as event waiting time during execution and coordinate increment value between each test step. Such black box test automation research was common in environments such as Android and Web, but not in Windows environment. The results of performance evaluation show that the proposed system performs GUI test automation as an image comparison module and confirms that the test is performed normally by confirming process status and error image detection.

Robot software components can be categorized into two types; the pure S/W component and the H/W-related one. Since interface testing of the robot software component is the labour-intensive and complicated work, an effective automated testing tool is necessary. Especially it is difficult to test all types of H/W-related components because it is hard work to prepare all H/W modules related to them. This paper proposes a new simulation-based interface testing automation tool(SITAT) which generates automatically test cases for interface testing of the robot software component and executes the interface test with the generated test cases where the simulator is used for simulation of the activity of a H/W module instead of the real H/W module. This paper verifies the effectiveness of the suggested SITAT with testing of the real H/W-related robot software component.

The role of the integrated development environment is very important in software development of a development project. After many developers develop different modules, software product is completed through compile, debugging, integration, testing, and distribution. However, bugs and various issues in the development process cause problems such as quality deterioration of software product and dissatisfaction with requirements. So the need for automated testing to avoid these problems and improve quality has increased. In this study, we propose test automation modules of four perspectives to improve quality throughout the test automation in an integrated development environment. Each automation module operates through the tool chain of an integrated build framework implemented on the devops.

It is said that the verification effort occupies about 50-70 percent of the total effort of a System-On-A-Chip. This paper aims to develop a test bench automation tool based on the abstraction of the interface protocols. This tool will allow designers to describe their test benches in a high level language such as C rather than VHDL or Verilog. It helps designers to save their verification time and effort.

In order to test reflecting the features of a development methodology and domain, it is required to tailor process standards and perform testing according to the tailored process. However, since commercial testing tools support only a part of the tailored process, it is essential to either acquire or develop testing tools appropriate for a development environment. This paper proposes a method to develop a test process execution tool which has common features of standards, and variousness in methodologies and domains. ‘Test Process Execution Tool: Test PET’ which is a test process execution tool developed adapting the concept of product line. Our Test PET generates the test process suitable for the development methodology and domain and then executes the produced test process.

In this study, an automation assembly jig for the automation assembly process for the ventilation grille that is used in the interior of a car Is developed. As the method that can do the automation assembly for the ventilation grille, a simple jig and air cylinder have been applied. And a solenoid valve, a filter regulator, and on-off switch have been used in controlling the system. Moreover, the timer is attached to the equipment so that a worker may control the assembly time, as fitting the quantity on demand of production. Actually with executing the assembly test productivity and performance of assembly have been verified. In case of the automation assembly work for a ventilation grille is compared to the manual work. The optimum working speed has been identified to make the process twice or three times better.
