The main goal of of this project is to improve current model-based GUI testing methods and tools, contributing to construct an effectively applicable testing approach in industry and to contribute to the construction of higher quality GUIs and software systems. One of the problems to overcome when implementing a model-based GUI testing approach is the time required to construct the model and the test case explosion problem. Choosing the right abstraction level of the model, extracting part of that model by a reverse engineering process and focusing the test cases to cover common recurrent behaviour seems to be a way to solve the problems.
