AUTOMATED TESTCASE EXECUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837418 titled 'AUTOMATED TESTCASE EXECUTION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for generating a control file and a repository class based on the selection of user interface (UI) controls in an application.

  • The method involves detecting the selection of one or more UI controls in the application's UI.
  • It retrieves the respective property value set for each selected UI control, which includes the values of properties associated with the control.
  • A control file is generated, containing UI control definitions for each selected control. Each definition is based on the respective property value set of the corresponding control.
  • A repository class is generated, which includes handles that can return an object corresponding to each selected UI control.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in software development to automate the generation of control files and repository classes for UI controls.
  • It can simplify the process of managing and manipulating UI controls in an application.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual creation of control files and repository classes for UI controls can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This method automates the generation process, reducing the effort and potential mistakes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Automation of control file and repository class generation saves time and effort in software development.
  • The method ensures consistency and accuracy in the generation of control files and repository classes.
  • It simplifies the management and manipulation of UI controls in an application.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, comprising: detecting a selection of one or more user interface (UI) controls in a user interface of an application; retrieving a respective property value set for each of the selected UI controls, the respective property value set for any of the selected UI controls including respective values of one or more properties of the selected UI control; generating a control file, the control file including one or more UI control definitions, each of the UI control definitions corresponding to a different one of the selected UI controls, each of the UI control definitions being generated based on the respective property value set for the UI control that corresponds to the UI control definition; and generating a repository class including one or more handles, each of the handles being configured to return an object corresponding to a different one of the selected UI controls.
