Abstract

The user interface (UI) is the software component with which the end users interact the most in the mobile and web world today. Therefore, when evaluating end-user satisfaction with a software, besides the functional features, the possibilities provided by the UIs are significant. End-user interfaces offer several capabilities today, necessitating a complex structure. Examples include interfaces developed in technologies such as Google Flutter and React. Therefore, we foresee a need for UI testing business workflows allowing comprehensive testing of UIs to improve customer satisfaction. Within the scope of this research, we propose an end-to-end approached automated UI testing business workflow for testing UI components on websites with intense user actions.
