Abstract
Test automation can save time and identify failed test cases instantly. However, these test cases run like a robot over Graphical User Interface (GUI). Hence, it is difficult for test engineers to locate defects precisely and quickly by using test automation software. The following disadvantages of robot-like replay are observed in automated GUI-tests: (1) The mouse-pointer does not move continually; (2) Interactions of certain GUI elements are not triggered; (3) The user view changes abruptly without smooth transition. All this may distract human attention and make debugging a time-consuming task. For tackling this problem, this paper proposes to create human-friendly videos for replaying automated tests. In these videos, the GUI elements in interaction are highlighted. Our tool provides an intuitive GUI to replay a video step by step. We believe that this automated video creation and playback technique can make defect identification easier than manual replay of original test cases.
