Chatting with GPT-3 for Zero-Shot Human-Like Mobile Automated GUI Testing

Understand

Mobile apps are indispensable for people's daily life, and automated GUI (Graphical User Interface) testing is widely used for app quality assurance.

• There is a growing interest in using learning-based techniques for automated GUI testing which aims at generating human-like actions and interactions.
• However, the limitations such as low testing coverage, weak generalization, and heavy reliance on training data, make an urgent need for a more effective approach to generate human-like actions to thoroughly test mobile apps.
• Inspired by the success of the Large Language Model (LLM), e.g., GPT-3 and ChatGPT, in natural language understanding and question answering, we formulate the mobile GUI testing problem as a Q&A task.
