Rapid Automation Front-end Framework Library and Executable Graphic User Interface Testing System and Method

A computer system, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more computer readable medium storing a computer application comprising computer executable code for creating a graphical user interface;
• and
• one or more processors receiving and executing the computer executable code to provide the graphical user interface on the display;
• the one or more computer readable medium also storing a testing application comprising computer executable code for activating the graphical user interface of the computer application, the testing application defining a command execution server embedded into the computer application, and a command client external to the computer application;
• the command execution server comprising:
• a playback module for interpreting commands received from the command client and executing commands by generating graphical user interface events in the graphical user interface of the computer application, and a verification module for comparing first graphical user interface values of the computer application after command execution to second graphical user interface values specified in the command to be verified and generating an alert responsive to the first graphical user interface values and the second graphical user interface values being mismatched.

A method, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a command by a command execution server embedded in a computer application that is being executed by one or more processors of a computer system from a command client external of the computer application;
• converting the command to a graphical user interface event;
• supplying the graphical user interface event to a GUI application of the computer application;
• monitoring execution of the graphical user interface event by the command execution server;
• and
• supplying an acknowledgement of completion of execution of the graphical user interface event by the command execution server to the command client.
