Final Thesis: Elevated Testing Depth and Quality for Design Implementations through Screenshot Testing
Abstract: The human factor in manual design verification makes the process time-consuming and error-prone. This thesis develops a strategy for automating design verification in Android applications with the help of screenshot testing. Such an objective requires choosing the right tool, managing the screenshot data and integrating screenshot testing into the CI/CD process. Maximizing the value that screenshot testing adds to the software project requires formulating a test case implementation strategy that defines what parts of the application UI should be verified and when. This research also touches on topics such as image comparison algorithms and Git’s problematic handling of binary les. The objective of the strategy developed in this thesis is the reduction of manual testing efforts in regards to design verification and the quick and reliable detection of UI regressions in Android applications.
