Abstract

A graphical user interface (GUI) can be tested using a navigation system to access objects. As an example, a processing device in a system can receive a selection of an object. The selection can be made through the GUI. In response to the selection, the processing device retrieves the object and a destination at which the object is located. The processing device recursively traverses a backwards navigation path from the destination to the graphical user interface using the name of the object and the destination. The processing device can then navigate to the destination using the backwards navigation path.
