Testing GUI Apps – What to test? How to test it?
GUI (Graphical User Interface) apps are essential for providing users with an intuitive and user-friendly experience. However, testing these apps can be challenging due to the complexity of the user interface and the multiple ways users can interact with it.
What to test?
When testing GUI apps, it is important to focus on the following aspects:
- Functionality: Test that all features and functionalities of the app work as expected.
- Usability: Test the ease of use and user-friendliness of the app.
- Compatibility: Test the app on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility.
- Performance: Test the app’s performance under different conditions, such as heavy load or slow internet connection.
How to test it?
There are several methods for testing GUI apps, including manual testing and automated testing. Manual testing involves testers interacting with the app and checking for any defects or issues. Automated testing, on the other hand, involves using testing tools to automate the testing process.
Manual Testing
Manual testing is a common method for testing GUI apps. Testers can perform the following tests:
- Functionality testing: Test the app’s features and functionalities to ensure they work as expected.
- Usability testing: Test the app’s user-friendliness and ease of use.
- Compatibility testing: Test the app on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility.
- Performance testing: Test the app’s performance under different conditions.
Automated Testing
Automated testing is a more efficient and reliable method for testing GUI apps. Testers can use testing tools such as Selenium or Appium to automate the testing process. Here is a simple example of automated testing using Selenium:
from selenium import webdriver
# Open the browser
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Navigate to the app URL
driver.get('http://example.com')
# Find an element on the page
element = driver.find_element_by_id('element_id')
# Perform an action on the element
element.click()
# Close the browser
driver.quit()
By using automated testing tools, testers can run tests quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and effort required for testing.
Mini Coding Course for Beginners
If you are new to coding and testing, here is a mini coding course to get you started:
- Learn the basics of programming languages such as Python or Java.
- Understand the fundamentals of testing, including manual and automated testing.
- Practice writing simple test cases for GUI apps using testing tools like Selenium.
- Explore more advanced testing techniques and tools to improve your testing skills.
With these basic coding skills and testing knowledge, you can start testing GUI apps with confidence and contribute to the quality and usability of the apps you test.
To be honest I expected you would have used an automated testing software to make your tests interact directly with your application gui. Probably since this is a general video about testing is better like this, I don't know of you or your followers are interested and if they knows about this kind of software, by the way I'm using for my kivy/kivymd application this combination to have pretty good automated tests:
– telenium : application that is able to interact with kivy gui using xpath to select widgets
– pytest : a test suite for python
– pytest-bdd : which is a plugin for pytest that implements bdd and permits you to use gherkin language to define your tests step and bind python methods to your gherkin steps.
I hope this information could be useful.
Thank you so much for this tutorial honestly. You're such a lifesaver!
The cat was comic relief. I love it!
“Pie-thag-re-um” i got you 🤓
Why are you too beautiful ? 😁
`libGL error: MESA-LOADER` solved with `conda install -c conda-forge libstdcxx-ng`
I have a Python code that use Tkinter to make a GUI. This code edit images. Now, I'm developing my webpage with Django, and I want to run the GUI code in my page. I hoped I could sove it with PYSCRIPT, but it's not compatible. I'm in a dead end. Can someone give me an advice?

You are a really good teacher.
Hey Mariya, love from India. Can you please make a tutorial of making a 3d realistic game in python?
Was rather hoping it would be testing for QT (either PyQT or PySide)
