Method and a system for generation of test automation scripts in real time

A test automation system to generate test automation scripts in real time, the test automation system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
• scan each of a plurality of properties associated with each of a plurality of objects within a user interface of an application under test;
• compare the plurality of properties with a pre-stored object library, wherein the pre-stored object library comprises metadata of properties associated with a historical user interface of the application under test;
• identify one or more updated properties associated with one or more objects from the plurality of objects based on the comparison of metadata of the plurality of objects with the metadata of properties associated with the historical user interface;
• determine a hierarchy of the plurality of objects in the user interface based on the updated properties;
• validate a screen position of each of the plurality of objects based on the hierarchy, wherein validating the screen position comprises locating X-Y co-ordinates of each of the plurality of objects;
• identify a type of control for each of the plurality of objects based on a pre-defined classification pattern, wherein the pre-defined classification pattern comprises at least one of input control, action control, view control, or path control;
• create a unique XPATH reference for each of the one or more objects of the plurality of objects based on the determined hierarchy, the screen position, and the type of control, wherein the unique XPATH reference indicates changes made to the type of control associated with each of the plurality of objects;
• and
• generate in real time one or more test automation scripts for the changes made to the type of control for each of the one or more objects based on the unique XPATH reference.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions for causing a computer comprising one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• scanning each of a plurality of properties associated with each of a plurality of objects within a user interface of an application under test;
• comparing the plurality of properties with a pre-stored object library, wherein the pre-stored object library comprises metadata of properties associated with a historical user interface of the application under test;
• identifying one or more updated properties associated with one or more objects from the plurality of objects based on the comparison of metadata of the plurality of objects with the metadata of properties associated with the historical user interface;
• determining, by the test automation system, a hierarchy of the plurality of objects in the user interface based on the updated properties;
• validating, by the test automation system, a screen position of each of the plurality of objects based on the hierarchy, wherein validating the screen position comprises locating X-Y co-ordinates of each of the plurality of objects;
• identifying, by the test automation system, a type of control for each of the plurality of objects based on a pre-defined classification pattern, wherein the pre-defined classification pattern comprises at least one of input control, action control, view control, or path control;
• creating a unique XPATH reference for each of the one or more objects of the plurality of objects based on the determined hierarchy, the screen position, and the type of control, wherein the unique XPATH reference indicates changes made to the type of control associated with each of the plurality of objects;
• and
• generating in real time one or more test automation scripts for the changes made to the type of control for each of the one or more objects based on the unique XPATH reference.
