Abstract
This paper summarizes the execution and evaluation of an automated graphical user interface test. A state of the art Enterprise Resource System serves as test subject and a vendor-specific capture and replay tool is applied in order to execute the test. The test specification requires the tester to create a big variety of very individual test subprograms which can be combined to fulfill greater purpose. Evaluation is bound to a five stage spiral model, containing quantitative methods, such as a ROI calculation, and qualitative methods, like the ISO 9126-1. Each stage is individually assessed and weighted for the object of creating one combined cost benefit valuation.
