Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Processing automation scripts used for testing pages includes running the automation scripts using a processor, searching for an element on the page according to locating information in an instruction of the automation scripts, collecting element-related information of the element in response to finding of the element on the page according to the locating information, and associating the collected element-related information of the element with the instruction of the automation scripts. The element-related information associated with the instruction is saved.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of processing an automation script used for testing a page, the method comprising: executing the automation script; searching for an element on the page according to locating information contained within an instruction of the automation script; collecting, responsive to finding the element on the page according to the locating information, element-related information; associating the collected element related information of the element with the instruction of the automation script; and saving the collected element-related information. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the locating information includes: an attribute of the element, content of the element, and an XPath of the element. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the element-related information includes at least one of full attribute, text, and location. 4. A system configured to process an automation script used for testing a page, comprising: at least one hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations: executing the automation script; searching for an element on the page according to locating information contained within an instruction of the automation script; collecting, responsive to finding the element on the page according to the locating information, element-related information; associating the collected element-related information of the element with the instruction of the automation script; and saving the collected element-related information. 5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the locating information includes: an attribute of the element, content of the element, and an XPath of the element. 6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the element-related information includes at least one of full attribute, text, and location. 7. A computer program product for processing automation scripts used for testing a page, comprising: a computer hardware storage device having stored thereon program code that, when executed, configures a processor to perform executable operations comprising: executing the automation script; searching for an element on the page according to locating information contained within an instruction of the automation script; collecting, responsive to finding the element on the page according to the locating information, element-relate information; associating the collected element-related information of the element with the instruction of the automation script; and saving the collected element-related information. 8. The computer program product according to claim 7 , wherein the locating information includes: an attribute of the element, content of the element, and an XPath of the element. 9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the element-related information includes at least one of full attribute, text, and location.
