USER INTERFACE TESTING ABSTRACTION

摘要

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.
