Résumé

More and more software systems are susceptible to be used in different contexts. Specific user interfaces are thus developed to take into ac-count the execution platform, the environment and the user. The multi-plication of user interfaces increases the testing task, although the core application remains the same. In this article, we explore a solution to automate testing in presence of multiple user interfaces designed for the same application (e.g. web-based, mobile, …). It consists of expressing abstract test scenarios in a high-level language, and then to apply con-cretization rules specific to each UI version to generate executable tests.
