Action-driven automation test framework for graphical user interface (GUI) software testing

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of an action-driven automation test framework especially for GUI software testing. The idea of action-driven automation test framework comes from the core concept of "Quality Assurance (QA)". Better quality can be ensured by increasing the coverage of test cases on the software but the process of creating large number of test cases has to be optimized. With this goal the framework was designed to primarily increase the efficiency and flexibility in composing test cases and simplify the process of learning the test cases. This paper describes the background, features, and implementation details of the framework.
