Guidelines for the development of a GUI-regression-testing-framework for SCADA applications using the example of the JCOP-Framework as used by the CERN LHC and its experiments

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to give a theoretical guidance in developing and in- tegrating a GUI-test-framework. Its content is derived from the experience gained during the development of the "Emu"-framework, which is used by CERN for the testing of the user-interface of the "JCOP-Framework", which provides "an integrated set of guidelines and software tools which is used by Developers of a Control System to develop their part of a Con- trol System application." The lessons learned from this project are collected in this thesis, so that others can draw conclusions and use them for creation of their own testing frameworks.
