Automated software script remediation methods and systems

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions to cause the processor to:
• attempt to identify a first UI object, referenced by a script;
• in response to failing to identify, at a first time, the first UI object:
• (i) calculate a first plurality of similarity scores, each similarity score from the first plurality of similarity scores associated with a UI object from a plurality of UI objects, the calculating based on:
• (1) comparisons between properties of the plurality of UI objects and a plurality of historical properties associated with the first UI object, and (2) at least one weight,
• (ii) identify a second UI object, from the plurality of UI objects, having a highest similarity score from the first plurality of similarity scores,
• (iii) automatically modify the script to include a modified value, such that subsequent execution of the script includes identify the second UI object in lieu of the first UI object;
• and
• during the subsequent execution of the script, at a second time after the first time, and in response to an error triggered by the modified value:
• iterate step (i) to produce a second plurality of similarity scores;
• and
• block subsequent use of the second UI object when the second UI object has a highest score from the second plurality of similarity scores.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:

• attempt to identify a first UI object;
• in response to failing to identify, at a first time, the first UI object:
• (i) calculate a first plurality of similarity scores, each similarity score from the first plurality of similarity scores associated with a UI object from a plurality of UI objects, the calculating based on:
• (1) comparisons between properties of the plurality of UI objects and a plurality of historical properties associated with the first UI object, and (2) at least one weight,
• (ii) identify a second UI object, from the plurality of UI objects, having a highest similarity score from the first plurality of similarity scores, and
• (iii) automatically modify the script to include a modified value, such that execution of the script subsequent to the automatic modification includes identify the second UI object in lieu of the first UI object;
• and
• during the subsequent execution of the script, at a second time after the first time, and in response to an error triggered by the modified value:
• iterate step (i) to produce a second plurality of similarity scores;
• and
• block subsequent use of the second UI object when the second UI object has a highest score from the second plurality of similarity scores.
