Abstract: A machine-executable process comprises receiving a request to take a screenshot of a display and receiving page source information of the display. The page source information is compared to stored page source information of displays that have had a screenshot taken to determine whether a screenshot of the display has already been taken. If a screenshot has not already been taken of the display, then a screenshot is taken and the page source information of the display is added to the stored page source information.

Abstract: A method for generic test automation comprises mapping generic interface commands for objects to be tested to tool-specific interface commands of a test automation tool. An application-specific element map based on an application for test is identified, and the application-specific element map includes label names for the elements of the application-specific element map. Application-specific user actions, which are created based on the generic interface commands and the application-specific element map, are sent to the test automation tool for testing the application.

Abstract: A method for testing RESTful web service applications comprises identifying a test case including application-specific interfaces for an application under test. At runtime, the application-specific interfaces are translated to generic REST interfaces and resources using a mapping file, a generic REST library, and reflection. The translated interfaces are then used to test the application.
