System and method for capturing and using web page views in a test environment

A process comprising:

• assembling a plurality of views into a plurality of view sets, wherein a view set comprises at least one view, and Wherein a view comprises at least one configuration, the view configuration including sets of fields and locations of the fields in the view;
• displaying one of the plurality of view sets as a web page in a window;
• and
• generating a view component using a union of the fields in the at least one view configuration, wherein the view component comprises a test element for the corresponding view, wherein the view component comprises a plurality of parameters wherein each parameter is linked to a single view field, and wherein the view component comprises no duplication of fields.

A computer readable storage device comprising instructions that when executed by a processor execute a process comprising:

• assembling a plurality of views into a plurality of view sets, wherein a view set comprises at least one view, and wherein a view comprises at least one configuration, the view configuration including sets of fields and locations of the fields in the view;
• displaying one of the plurality of view sets as a web page in a window;
• and
• generating a view component using a union of the fields in the at least one view configuration, wherein the view component comprises a test element for the corresponding view, wherein the view component comprises a plurality of parameters wherein each parameter is linked to a single view field, and wherein the view component comprises no duplication of fields.

A system Comprising:

• a computer processor and a computer storage device:
• configured to:
• configure a plurality of views for a web page, wherein the web page is displayable within a window, and wherein each view comprises at least one view configuration, the view configuration including sets of fields and locations of the fields in the view;
• execute a process that displays the web page and the plurality of views;
• capture as a view component a union of the at least one view configuration, wherein the view component comprises a test element for the corresponding view, wherein the view component comprises a plurality of parameters, wherein each parameter is linked to a single view field, and wherein the view component comprises no duplication of fields;
• and
• generate a test, wherein the test comprises a sequence of view components.
