One of typical functions of software for airborne systems and equipment is to display various types of flight information on monitor screens in graphical form. Testing of that graphical software is a very time consuming process, but is required for safety of flights. It is possible to improve that process with making it less expensive and more reliable by means of automation of test planning and execution. The main purpose of test execution automation is to replace a human-operator by a computer system, which can recognize and analyze screen images produced by the software under test, and compare them with the expected ones defined in the test plans. The most complex problem, which it is need to be solved for achieving this purpose, is to create decision making system for checking accordance of monitor image elements and test plans. Screen image description, analysis, and decision making methods are considered in the article. A system is described, which can automatically recognize several types of screen images, including texts, scales and pointer indicators.
