Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically detecting user interface elements. One example method includes accessing master frame information for a user interface of an application. The master frame information includes first captured user interface information captured during a first execution of a scenario for the application. A subsequent execution of the scenario is performed, including capturing second captured user interface information. A determination is made that the subsequent execution of the scenario has not passed successfully, due to a non-functional error. A determination is made that the non-functional error is based on a failure to locate a user interface element specified in the master frame. A recovery strategy is performed, using the first captured user interface information and the second captured user interface information, to automatically locate the user interface element.
