gui-testing (Graphical user interface testing) is a type of software testing that focuses on graphical user interfaces.

Quote from wikipedia:

In software engineering, graphical user interface testing is the process of testing a product's graphical user interface to ensure it meets its written specifications. This is normally done through the use of a variety of test cases.

GUI testing ensures that an application returns desired output in response to a set of different user actions, like mouse clicking, typing etc.

To automate GUI-testing tools are needed to emulate the users input or to capture and replay a sequence of user actions.
