Abstract

A system and method for masking dynamic regions of a user interface that assist in testing of the static user interface layout. The masking regions are used to eliminate the regions of the user interface layout that are expected to change during a verification process. The present invention allows a user to add masks to the dynamic areas of a screen for selectively ignoring those areas during testing.
