Abstract: An area of a graphical user interface that potentially comprises an actionable graphical object is identified. An actional graphical object is an object that generates an event when clicked on. For example, an actional graphical object may be a button, a menu, a menu item, a check box, a text field, a text area, a tab, and/or the like. A cursor movement is generated in the area of the graphical user interface (e.g., using a grid). The cursor movement uses a scanning process to a detect a change in a cursor type (e.g., from an arrow cursor to a link cursor). In response to detecting the change in the cursor type, the actionable graphical object is identified in the area of the graphical interface. The actionable graphical object may then be integrated into a testing process to validate the graphical user interface.

Abstract: The design for modern graphical interfaces generated by an application under test (AUT) can take many forms. A codeless testing system reads the output generated by the AUT to identify components, however, scroll bars may be present but in a form that is not reliably identified. As a result, an AUT may comprise scrollable graphical elements that are not identified as such resulting in the performance of tests that are incomplete. By applying a middle button click event, an associated pointer changes form and reveals an associated graphical element to comprise a scrollable element. When the pointer change occurs, testing directed to the scrollable element is then included to perform a more complete testing of the features of the AUT.
