WEB UI AUTOMATION MAINTENANCE TOOL

Abstract:

A web UI automation maintenance tool includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores UI automation scripts for an initial web page to be displayed, elements on the initial web page, and element identifiers associated with the elements on the initial web page. The processor receives an update to the initial web page, identifies the elements on the initial web page, and element identifiers associated with the elements on the updated web page. The processor determines similarities between the initial web page and the updated web page for each element, and identifies a new element identifier for each updated element having an element identifier that was changed from the initial web page to the updated web page. The new element identifiers in the UI automation script are updated based on the determined similarities and without requiring manual intervention for the update.
