Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving at least one test script associated with a user interface as an input, wherein the test script comprises a set of test instructions configured to test the user interface; parsing each test instruction in the set of test instructions; identifying, based on the parsing, a set of user interface elements associated with the user interface referenced by each test instruction; determining whether the user interface comprises the set of user interface elements based on a document object model associated with the user interface; generating, within the user interface, at least one user interface element in the set of user interface elements based on the user interface failing to comprise the at least one user interface element, the generating avoiding a failure of the at least one test script; automatically positioning the user interface element that has been generated on the user interface wherein the user interface is automatically positioned on the user interface based on the user interface element being one of a first type that is used to arrange other user interface elements in the user interface and a second type that is used for interacting with users; and executing the set of text instructions on the set of user interface elements including the at least one user interface element that has been generated.
