Visible elements-based application testing

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that cause the processor to:
• access, based on an analysis of a display of a page associated with execution of an application, an identification of elements and locations of the identified elements within the page, wherein each element of the identified elements includes a character;
• determine whether a word is present in the identified elements by comparing the word to the identified elements to determine potential matches;
• and
• based on a determination that the word is present in the identified elements, execute an operation associated with the word.

A method comprising:

• accessing, based on an analysis of a display of a page associated with execution of an application, an indication of elements and locations of the elements within the page, wherein each element of the elements includes a character;
• determining, by a processor, whether a word is present in the elements by:
• analyzing a region of the analyzed page to identify a line including the elements;
• analyzing the line to identify the elements;
• and
• comparing the word to the identified elements to determine potential matches;
• and
• based on a determination that the word is present in the identified elements, executing an operation associated with the word.

A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• access, based on analysis of a display of a page associated with execution of an application, an identification of elements and locations of the identified elements within the page, wherein each element of the identified elements includes a plurality of characters;
• identify characters of a word;
• compare each identified character of the word to each character of the identified elements to determine whether the word is present in the identified elements;
• and
• based on a determination that the word is present in the identified elements, execute an operation associated with the word.
