Setting Up Repo for Test Generation

1. clone the repository.
2. install necessary packages(refer to REQUIREMENTS.txt)
3. install Appium Desktop
4. add app's configuration in App_Config.py -- you can find relevant info in news_app_info.csv, shopping_app_info.csv, and game_app_info.csv
5. start Android Emulator -- make sure the AUT is installed on the Emulator, e.g., abcnews.
6. start Appium Server on Appium desktop.
7. change file paths in global_config.py.
8. change the number of generated tests in [test_generator_auto.py](Modify self.MAX_TEST_NUM=2 in the [class TestGenerator] if you want to generate two tests. )
9. run main method in test_generator_auto.py

Notice:

Dynamic Test Generation: Dynamically generating usage-based tests for new apps

1. the definitions of canonical screens and canonical widgets are under IR folder
2. the IR Models, generated tests, and intermediate results (e.g., screenshots, cropped widgets, reverse engineered UI layout hierarchy) are under Final-Artifacts\output folder.
3. the processed video frames, screenshots, cropped widgets, keyboard classifier's results of all the usages are under usage_data folder (refer to Avgust for evaluation).

At this point you should be able to see an output similar to the output below on your command line interface:

The screen classifier top5 guesses for the screen:

['category', 'home', 'items', 'menu', 'popup']

Choose the closest screen tag from the top5 guesses: [You should type the closest screen tag on your cli]: home

id:2 navigation_home - matched with: home

id:3 navigation_feed - matched with: menu

Choose the id of the widget you want to interact with:[You should type the id on your cli]: 0

Please enter the ground truth IR for the widget you chose:to_search
