Abstract

In Software Testing, systems with complex outputs (GUIs, web applications, and Text-to-speech (TTS) systems) make the test automation a difficult job and may require from the tester a large amount of time to determine whether the current output is correct. Even so, there is still no known general method to define test oracles for such systems. Regarding TTS systems, in which audio files are given as output, the literature describes several techniques useful for measure their quality, but they mostly involve opinion scores, informal interpretations and human intervention. This Ph.D. Research aim to use test oracles to deal with this problem, extending the framework O-FIm that uses CBIR concepts to automate test oracles. Using feature extractors implemented specifically for systems with complex outputs (image and audio), this research provides an effective automated test oracle technique, supporting the quality assessment of such systems. We expect this new approach to reduce the human efforts of testing systems with complex outputs.
