Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a p_method for testing applications. A connection is made by a test development device to a source device. User interactions with various components of an application executing at the source device are detected by the test development device. A p_method corresponding to each user interaction with the various components of the application is identified by the test development device and within code of the application or underlying OS framework code. Contextual information is extracted from each identified p_method that corresponding to the component with which the user interaction occurred. A test script is generated by the test development device based on the user interactions and the contextual information extracted from the identified p_methods. The test script is automatically run on a test device that differs from the source device.
