Graphical user interface testing (GUI testing) techniques have been widely used to test the functionality of Android applications (apps) and to detect faults for verification of the reliability and usability of apps. To adequately test the behaviors of apps, a number of studies on model-based GUI testing techniques have been performed on Android apps. However, the effectiveness of model-based techniques greatly depends on the quality of the GUI model, because model-based GUI testing techniques generate test inputs based on this model. Therefore, in order to improve testing effectiveness in model-based techniques, accurate and efficient GUI model generation has to be achieved using an improved model generation technique with concrete definition of GUI states. For accurate and efficient generation of a GUI model and test inputs, this study suggests a hierarchical GUI state comparison technique and evaluates this technique through comparison with the existing model-based techniques, considering activities as GUI states. Our results show that the proposed technique outperforms existing approaches and has the potential to improve the performance of model-based GUI testing techniques for Android apps.

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.

To provide an easy operation of drift prediction model in SAR(search and rescue) mission a GUI program running on Windows environment has developed. Users can make choice of input data on the screen by just clicking the mouse and the prediction results of datum points and trajectories of vessels are drawn on the electric chart. The program contains both Leeway Equation model and Mathematical model. The FORTRAN language was used in programming and Lehay Winteraction 4.0 software was utilized for graphic presentation. The result of May, 2001 Busan field experiment was plotted with that of model prediction for demonstration purpose.

Due to the recent surge of wireless Internet and concurrent development of the end user terminal devices having standardized graphical user interface(GUI) and unified operation mechanism for better interactivity in information representation and ease of use, various efforts on the improvement of GUI is widely recognized as one of the key factors that will usher in the next stages of the wireless Internet for the users. Especially, improved usability along with unique visual effect are considered to be the key elements for GUI considering the rapid improvement of the resolution and color on the end user handset devices; thus, the study and research on the subject of GUI is expected to increase along with the wireless Internet using smart phones. User interface of the wires Internet end user handsets will have a definite and significant effect on the user interaction as well as productivity. Domestically, wireless Internet service providers and GUI design companies are making various efforts in producing a common GUI models for standardized operation scheme and improved graphical display capabilities of the hand phones, PDAs and smart phones. In the study, Nokia 3650 model and Microsoft Orange SPV model were chosen as test devices for usability comparison and data collection to collect directional benchmark data in developing next generation smart phone user interface integrating PDAs and phones. The mail purpose of this study is to achieve the most efficient user accessibility to WAP menu through intensive focus on developing WIPI WAP menu having most effective usability for the users in their twenties and thirties. The result of this study can also be used as the base research materials for WAP service development, VM browser development and PDA browser development. The result of this study along with the evaluation model is expected to provide effective analysis materials on the subject of user interface to the developers of the wireless Internet user devices, GUI designers and service planners while short listing key factors to consider in developing smart phones therefore serving as the GUI guideline of WIPI phones.

디스플레이를 사용하는 스마트기기의 GUI는 품질 평가에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그동안 GUI 품질 평가에 대한 연구는 사용성 평가와 같은 주관적 관점의 평가가 대부분 이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사용자가 직접적으로 체감할 수 있는 반응시간, 화면 움직임의 부드러움과 같은 항목으로 GUI의 체감품질을 정량화 할 수 있는 평가 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 5대강 유역에 대한 홍수예경보시스템의 홍수추적방법으로 이용되고 있는 물리적인 모형인 저류함수법의 한계점을 극복하고, 영산강 유역의 본류를 대표하는 나주지점과 황룡강 유역을 대표하는 선암지점에 대하여 유역의 수문학적 구조를 나타내지 않는 인공신경망 이론을 이용하여 강우-유출 과정의 비선형 모형을 개발하였다. 또한, 신속한 홍수유출량 예측과 예측 결과에 따른 현장 적용이 가능하도록 CS(Client-Server) 기반에서 인공신경망에 대한 원시코드(source code)를 GUI(Graphical User Interface)화하여 홍수예측시스템(Flood Forecasting System : FFS)을 개발하였다. 본 연구결과 나주지점에서는 Model II의 ANN_NJ_9 모형이 선암지점에서는 Model III의 ANN_SA_9 모형이 강우-유출 특성을 가장 잘 반영하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서 개발한 GUI_FFS에 대하여 기 확보된 2004년도 강우 및 유출량 적용한 결과 0.98이상의 $R^2$값을 보임으로서 향후 수자원 및 하천계획 수립과 그에 따른 운영 및 관리에 효율성을 더할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

It is required for multi-users to share massive mapping data effectively that distributed data model in the Client-Server environment is developed for the replication consistency. The existing model is not effective to the long transaction just like a mapping system, since it does not account lot consistency between GUI screen and database replications even though it emphasizes on the replication consistency. The performance of concurrency control is very important for those long transactions, especially the mapping systems. This model is to support consistency between GUI screen and replicas using display locks. It suggests consistency model improving process performance by modifying memory consistency model and optimistic concurrency control for mapping data's characteristics.

MVC(Model-View-Controller) architecture is well-known for high maintainability and it makes efficient development possible. Recently, it has been applied in many fields such as web, desktop and mobile applications. Therefore, effective testing for this architecture is strongly needed. Although much research has been done, there was not much efforts for exploiting MVC architecture in GUI testing. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a scheme for efficient and accurate GUI testing for MVC based applications. In this study we separate original state diagrams into view state diagram and model-controller state diagram. Then, we present a case study showing the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.
