GUI TESTING FRAMEWORKS

Introduction

A Graphical User Interface is a program interface that takes advantage of the computer's graphics capabilities to make the program easier to use.Ideally, user interfaces should only be thin shells on top of the next layer in an application. UI should really only do two things: display information in a useful fashion, and pass user input as quickly as possible to some code that knows what to do with it. In reality, however, user interface code usually includes a lot of logic which determines where to go next, how to communicate user selections to the next screen, where to get data, and so on.
