Object oriented GUI test automation

摘要

A method, system and apparatus for the object-oriented automated user interface testing of an application under test in a functional testing tool. The functional testing tool can include a configuration for producing multiple methods defining interactions with individual elements in a user interface to an application under test. The functional testing tool further can include one or more defined actions grouping selected ones of the methods which are used repeatedly within screens of the application under test. Preferably, at least one task defining a group of related activities in the user interface can be produced in the functional testing tool. Subsequently, a test case can be generated which implements the task with at least one verification point.
