  • USER INTERFACE TESTING ABSTRACTION
    Publication number: 20170109271
    Abstract: An automated test is identified for testing a software system including a graphical user interface (GUI) including a particular GUI element, where the automated test is to simulate user interactions with at least the particular GUI element. The particular GUI element is of a particular type of GUI element and the automated test includes a call to a particular one of a plurality of abstraction layer functions. The automated test is executed, including calling the particular abstraction layer function, where the particular abstraction layer function corresponds to GUI elements of the particular type. A reference to the particular GUI element is received from the particular abstraction layer function.
    Type: Application

  • USER INTERFACE TESTING ABSTRACTION
    Publication number: 20160103759
    Abstract: Interactions with a particular graphical user interface (GUI) of a software system are caused to be recorded and a particular one of the interactions is identified as an interaction with a particular GUI element of the GUI. A particular type of GUI element corresponding to the particular GUI element is determined and at least a portion of an instruction is generated for inclusion in a test of the software system, the instruction referencing the particular GUI element as an instance of the particular type of GUI element.
