Base Claim:
1. A method of generating a test script from a pre-existing script for testing a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising: parsing a pre-existing test script for a graphical user interface (GUI) to identify, using keywords and associated parameters, a first GUI action in a first line of the pre-existing test script; parsing a model associated with the GUI to identify GUI actions and associated elements for the GUI actions in the model; identifying a corresponding element for the first GUI action in a second line, following the first line, that are identified by keywords and associated parameters that exist in the pre-existing test script and match actions in the model; identifying GUI actions in the pre-existing test script that match GUI actions in the model; and generating a new test script by adding the first GUI action and corresponding element to the pre-existing test script.

Claim 8:
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein after a generated test script is produced, any successful decisions from the candidate list or any input that the user was required to solve are added to a global set of ‘keyword <->element’ pairs for future test script parsing so that the process is refined over time.
