Fill in the Blank: Context-aware Automated Text Input Generation for Mobile GUI Testing

Understand

Automated GUI testing is widely used to help ensure the quality of mobile apps.

• However, many GUIs require appropriate text inputs to proceed to the next page which remains a prominent obstacle for testing coverage.
• Considering the diversity and semantic requirement of valid inputs (e.g., flight departure, movie name), it is challenging to automate the text input generation.
• Inspired by the fact that the pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM) has made outstanding progress in text generation, we propose an approach named QTypist based on LLM for intelligently generating semantic input text according to the GUI context.
