Beca de colaboración para trabajar con interfaces multitáctiles
Título del proyecto:
Sistema automático de pruebas de aplicaciones gráficas multitáctiles
Descripción proyecto
La realización de pruebas exhaustivas para la detección de posibles errores de funcionamiento y para poder asegurar que un sistema software cumple los requisitos de diseño es un paso imprescindible en el desarrollo del mismo. Existen varios tipos de pruebas, que dependen del aspecto del sistema que se desea estudiar:
pruebas unitarias, que se aseguran que cierto módulo funciona correctamente, pruebas de integración, que comprueban que dos módulos independientes se comunican
correctamente, pruebas de regresión, para comprobar que un cambio en el sistema no ha afectado a su correcto funcionamiento, etc. En la actualidad existen herramientas automáticas que permiten realizar automáticamente dichas pruebas.
El problema de realizar pruebas de software en aplicaciones gráficas interactivas (multitáctiles o no) es la dificultad de interactuar automáticamente a través de la interfaz gráfica y de definir y comparar los resultados esperados y los obtenidos. Otro problema es la dificultad de sistematizar, emular y controlar el flujo de eventos
que genera la interacción de un usuario con dicha aplicación.
Este proyecto definirá una plataforma para implementar un sistema de pruebas automáticas de aplicaciones multitáctiles.
Actividades a realizar por el alumno
En la actualidad nuestro grupo dispone de un banco de trabajo multitáctil con capacidad de visualización estereoscópica, aunque el sistema propuesto deberá funcionar en otras plataformas multitáctiles compatibles. El becario solicitado aprenderá a utilizar nuestro prototipo y participará en el desarrollo y prueba de dicho sistema.
De forma más detallada, las tareas a realizar por el alumno serán:
1. Estudio del estado del arte en el área de interfaces multitáctiles
2. Estudio del estado del arte en el área de pruebas de software
3. Estudio de las herramientas de programación, pruebas y documentación usadas para desasrrollar nuestro prototipo
4. Estudio del estado actual del proyecto y de las bibliotecas utilizadas
5. Colaboración en el desarrollo del sistema automatizado de pruebas
6. Colaboración en la definición de pruebas para un programa dado, para validar la plataforma de pruebas
7. Validación del sistema de pruebas
Horario
Horario Flexible, 15 horas semanales
Posibilidad de realizar el Proyecto Final de Carrera

Post-doctoral researcher in HCI at the Bristol Interaction and Graphics group
The Bristol Interaction and Graphics group (big.cs.bris.ac.uk) of the
University of Bristol is seeking to appoint a post-doctoral researcher
with expertise in the area of display-technologies and human-computer
interaction.
The ideal person will have skills in hardware and 3D display
technologies to work on a project exploring the design and
implementation of multi-touch surfaces with true-3D displays. This
line of investigation is part of a large ERC funded project involving
design of Interactive Systems Involving Multi-point Surfaces, Haptics
and true-3D displays.
We are looking to focus on various solutions by which one can
dynamically create true-3D content on an interactive surface and on
understanding how interaction can be facilitated on a surface that
combines 2D and 3D display.
Within this broad objective there will be plenty of freedom and
flexibility in shaping the research project. The ultimate key
requirement is to demonstrate academic excellence through high-quality
peer-reviewed papers and strong interaction with the peer-community.
The grant that funds this project aims to fund pioneering frontier
research.
The project has sufficient resources to allow hardware prototyping and
support conference travel. The team will ultimately include 2 RAs,
2PhDs and a project technician and the project will last for 5 years
