Abstract
An automatic testing application is provided that can simulate a user interaction with a web application. The automatic testing application can determine that the web application has been completely displayed within a graphical user interface of a web browser using a consistent global page state. The automatic testing application can test that the web application has been correctly displayed by verifying a state of a visualization component of the web application using a communication component. Subsequently, the automatic testing application can transmit an event to the web application that can modify the state of the visualization component using the communication component. Once the automatic testing application has determined that the web application has been completely re-displayed, using the consistent global page state, the automatic testing application can test that the web application has been correctly re-displayed by verifying a modified state of the visualization component using the communication component.
