Automated Web GUI Testing

Automated Web GUI Testing (AWGT) refers to software testing approaches that automatically explore web applications by performing GUI interactions such as clicking and form input, without requiring manually written test scripts. AWGTs build a state model of the application during exploration, using state abstraction to group similar pages and guide the crawl toward unvisited areas, maximising code coverage within a fixed time budget. AWGTs can be configured to detect accessibility violations during exploration, making them a scalable tool for accessibility auditing.
