Abstract: Graphical user interface testing is provided. User interface (UI) build data and text data are transformed into a testable data format, such as XML, by a UI parser. The transformed UI data may be stored to a backend server where stored procedures and functions may be utilized to analyze the UI data against build differencing procedures, command mapping procedures, comparison to previous or subsequent user interface builds, etc. Additional stored procedures may allow UI testers to query data, create test suites and record testing information for a given UI. A front end testing module may provide a testing user an interface to query the backend database for information on various UI components and to review results for tests conducted on UI data. The front end testing module may also provide an interface for allowing testers to generate and execute new tests for a given user interface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of testing a hypertext document for compliance with a selected criterion. The method (200) provides user prompts (201) for accepting user selections (202) of parameters to test a web page (or web pages) for compliance with selected rules. The web page is obtained (203) and sent, with selected rules, to a rules engine (204) for an analysis based on the selected rules (206). The raw analysis data is generated and stored (208). The analysis data is compiled and presented (210) to a user for error tracking and/or correction (212).
