Abstract

TESTAR is a tool for automated testing via the GUI. It uses dynamic analysis during automated GUI exploration and generates the test sequences during the execution. TESTAR saves all kind of information about the tests in a Graph database that can be queried or traversed during or after the tests using a traversal language. Test sequences leading to a failure can be excessively long, making the root-cause analysis of the failure difficult. This paper proposes an initial approach to find the shortest path to reproduce an error found by TESTAR
