Abstract: A user interface (UI) is rendered as an image for display on a client computing device and a UI descriptor generated describing interactive elements of the UI is generated. The image is compressed into a compressed image format. The compressed image and the UI descriptor are transferred to the client computing device where the UI is rendered using the compressed image and the UI descriptor. A request is received for a dynamically generated interactive element from the client computing device, the request based on an interactive event received on the rendered UI and associated with an interactive element of the UI described in the UI descriptor. A dynamically generated interactive element is transmitted to the client computing device, the dynamically generated interactive element configured to be visible on the UI and to accept input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing an application having a graphical user interface are disclosed. A function library having a plurality of functions is provided, each function corresponding to a user action within the graphical user interface. User actions within the graphical user interface are developed independent of the operation of the application. A test case comprising one or more functions from the plurality of functions that correspond to the one or more developed user actions is assembled, for later execution to test the application.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a reusable script for a single user performance test of a network application. A description of a single user performance test is generated based upon a group of data describing a functional test and a group of data describing commands of a performance test tool. In one embodiment, a functional test tool generates signals based on the description of a single user performance test to simulate to a performance test tool user interactions with a user interface of the performance test tool to manage a performance test session to test the network application. In another embodiment, the functional test tool generates signals simulating user interactions with a user interface of the network application during the performance test session.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a reusable script for a multiple user performance test of a network application. A description of a multiple user performance test is generated based upon a group of data describing a functional test and a group of data describing commands of a performance test tool. In one embodiment, a functional test tool generates signals based on the description of a multiple user performance test to simulate to a performance test tool multiple users' interactions with a user interface of the performance test tool to manage a performance test session to test the network application. In another embodiment, the functional test tool generates signals simulating user interactions with a user interface of the network application during the performance test session.
