Critical UIs: When User Tasks Test the Code
summary
Presents a method where hierarchical task models drive automated tests of a live UI by co‑executing alongside application code using a modelling IDE with task editors, a simulator, Java code and a Petri‑net graphical language. Describes a synergy module that maps UI events to task model annotations, shows finding a non‑clickable control, patching the interpreted Petri code and re‑running tests, and claims the approach scales to industrial cases (over 1,000 modeled tasks) with usable coverage and on‑the‑fly fixes.
