Method for remotely testing the operation of a computer system

摘要

A method for remotely testing the operation of a computer system includes receiving a first element of the graphical user interface of the computer system, generating a user input action within the computer system in response to said first element, monitoring the computer system graphical user interface for an image transformation of an expected second element, and signalling a failure if a predetermined time interval lapses without detecting said transformation of an expected second element.

1. A method for remotely testing the operation of a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, a first element of a graphical user interface of the computer system; generating a user input action within said computer system in response to said first element; monitoring said computer system graphical user interface for an image transformation of an expected second element by:
image transforming a saved image, the saved image comprising the expected second element and the saved image transformation comprising a dimensional scaling of the saved image, wherein the dimensional scaling comprises one or more of: a predetermined fixed scaling ratio and a preselected range of possible ratios; andscanning the screen image for the transformation of the expected second element using the transformed saved image; saving the dimensional scaling upon detection of the image transformed second element using the scaled image; or signalling a failure if a predetermined time interval lapses without detecting said transformation of an expected second element; and providing an execution system, the execution system remote from the system under test and configured to execute a script comprising language that:
is associated with an action intended for the system under test; andwhen processed causes the action to be relayed to an execution environment.
