Abstract: This paper presents an approach to automate black-box GUI testing for web applications by integrating deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with large language models (LLMs). Traditional GUI testing is often inefficient and costly due to the difficulty in generating comprehensive test scenarios. While DRL has shown potential in automating exploratory testing by leveraging GUI interaction data, such data is browser-dependent and not always accessible in web applications. To address this challenge, we propose using LLMs to infer interaction information directly from HTML code, incorporating these inferences into the DRL’s state representation. We hypothesize that combining the inferential capabilities of LLMs with the robustness of DRL can match the accuracy of methods relying on direct data collection. Through experiments, we demonstrate that LLM-inferred interaction information effectively substitutes for direct data, enhancing both the efficiency and accuracy of automated GUI testing. O ur results indicate that this approach not only streamlines GUI testing for web applications but also has broader implications for domains where direct state information is hard to obtain. The study suggests that integrating LLMs with DRL offers a promising path toward more efficient and scalable automation in GUI testing. (More)
