FrUITeR: A Framework for Evaluating UI Test Reuse
UI testing is tedious and time-consuming due to the manual effort required.
Recent research has explored opportunities for reusing existing UI tests from
an app to automatically generate new tests for other apps. However, the
evaluation of such techniques currently remains manual, unscalable, and
unreproducible, which can waste effort and impede progress in this emerging
area. We introduce FrUITeR, a framework that automatically evaluates UI test
reuse in a reproducible way. We apply FrUITeR to existing test-reuse techniques
on a uniform benchmark we established, resulting in 11,917 test reuse cases
from 20 apps. We report several key findings aimed at improving UI test reuse
that are missed by existing work.Comment: ESEC/FSE 202
