Abstract

A method and a system for automated testing of a graphic-based programming tool. The present invention includes a computer-implemented method that allows a developer to easily generate scripts for automatically testing a graphic-based programming tool using generic reusable building blocks of test code and separate decoupled parameter data. The method further allows the developer to automatically test and re-test a graphic-based programming tool using the generated scripts. The system provides a memory and a processor for implementing the automated testing methods according to embodiments of the present invention. An example application is a graphic-based programming tool used to generate screens and their underlying program logic.
