Challenges of Testing for Critical Interactive Systems

Abstract

Interactive systems cover all systems that represent a bridge to enable the user interaction over an interface. The advance of technologies such as ubiquitous computing brings new interaction designs. The new interaction styles have illustrated the shift from design graphical user interfaces to design human-computer interactions (HCI). However, several approaches still focus on testing GUI instead of testing HCI. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the use of new concepts to automate the interactive systems testing by addressing the issues of critical interactive systems.
