Abstract: Systems to provide automated testing of a markup software application, program product, and methods are provided. An example of a system can include a network, at least one computer including memory and a processor, and application testing program product stored in the memory of the at least one computer. The application testing program product can include instructions that when executed by the processor of the respective computer causes the respective computer to perform various operations to include receiving a user selection identifying a target element of an application; determining a command describing an action being performed; identifying a translator responsive to a captured command; and generating at least one of the following: an abstract script describing the action being performed by the target element, a context-sensitive verification available for the target element, or a context sensitive synchronization available for the target element.

Abstract: An automated software testing and validation system allows testing of a software application under test (SAUT) regardless of the dynamic nature of the SAUT. An abstracted set of hierarchal or linear objects model certain regions of the SAUT. Automated test scripts utilize theses regions to intuitively navigate and identify potions of the SAUT to automate. The scripts can also access specific SAUT elements contain within each defined region. These elements can then be used to invoke actions or verify outputs there from. The system uses a set of rich identification rules embodied in the system which allow the user to configure the identification of any element within the abstracted region. The rules are customizable to allow the user to configure the desired level of loose coupling between the automated scripts and the target element to adapt the scripts to the nature of the SAUT.
