Abstract
A system and method for using information in an auxiliary data system to enhance the capability of automated testing of graphical user interface (GUI) based applications. Embodiments of the invention establish a method to map auxiliary data to automated tests of the GUI in order to map out all tests that need to be created, which tests need to be changed as this auxiliary data changes, and how each automated test needs to be updated to handle these changes.
