Semantic-Contextual Automation of Scriptless BDD Testing for Intelligent Test Coverage Enhancement

Title
Semantic-Contextual Automation of Scriptless BDD Testing for Intelligent Test Coverage Enhancement
Creator
Senthil Murugan, S.; Balamurugan, M.
Description
This work proposes a framework to improve test automation for Android applications using Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). It addresses the challenges posed by dynamic user interfaces, complex view hierarchies, and unstable locators by capturing user interactions through browser-mirrored Android screens. The framework integrates AI-based widget classification, image-based object detection, and dynamic XPath generation to enhance locator reliability. Test scenarios-including positive, negative, and boundary cases are structured in JSON and automatically converted into BDD feature files, increasing test coverage and minimizing redundancy. Automation of script generation and locator healing reduces manual effort while improving scalability, accuracy, and efficiency in test case management. The optimized validation pipeline supports comprehensive scenario generation and accelerates functional testing, thereby improving software quality in dynamic Android environments. 2025 IEEE.
