Abstract: In order to improve the coverage and efficiency of locating faults and defect the faults in running repetitiously in Graph User Interface (GUI) automatic testing, a GUI automated testing model based on software monitoring was proposed. The model divided GUI into four-layers: windows framework layer, interface element layer, functional structure layer and running record layer. The windows framework layer described all windows and controls in GUI, the interface element layer described all input events, the functional structure layer described the rule of functional coverage, and the running record layer monitored the software dynamically in each running trace and window through instrumentation codes, so as to increase the test coverage, provide basis for reliability calculation according to the total and correct operation in running record window. Finally, notepad was taken as the example to verify the model's efficiency.
