Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a method comprising automatically obtaining one or more reference data items representative of one or more graphical user interface (GUI) objects from a GUI of a system under test by, for each of the one or more reference data items: identifying one or more correlations between two or more pixels of the GUI of the system under test to determine a group of pixels corresponding to a GUI object; determining image boundaries of the GUI object based on at least one of the determined group of pixels and any identified correlations; generating a reference data item representative of the GUI object identified by the determined image boundaries; and storing the reference data item in a database. The method also comprises receiving a user input representative of a selection of a desired reference data item from the database and updating a test description for an automated computer test with the selected reference data item.
