Abstract
A system for conducting user interface (UI) software component testing has been developed. The test of the UI software component is initiated and a display of the test results are shown to a user in a browser used in the testing. A code editor used for debugging by the user receives the test results from the browser and presents the test results to the user for debugging. The browser webview and the code editor are simultaneously displayed to the user in a dual screencast window during the UI software testing.
Claims18
A system for conducting user interface (UI) software component testing, comprising:
- a browser for use in testing a UI software component, where the test of the UI software component is initiated and a display of the test results are shown to a user in the browser;
- a code editor for debugging by the user, where the code editor receives the test results from the browser and presents the test results to the user for debugging;
- and
- where the browser and the code editor are simultaneously displayed to the user in a dual screencast window during the UI software testing.
A method for conducting user interface (UI) software component testing, comprising:
- parsing code of the UI software component to generate test information at test locations in the code of the UI software component with a code editor;
- displaying testing actions with the code editor;
- setting testing breakpoints at various line locations in the code of the UI software component;
- launching a browser with a debugging port;
- launching a webview with the code editor;
- displaying the UI software component testing progress to a user with a screencast from the browser of the webview;
- launching a debug configuration with the code editor with the test information and attaching to the debugging port of the browser;
- navigating to a test uniform resource locater (URL) with the browser from the parsed test information;
- collecting the test results with the browser;
- and
- presenting the test results in the code editor to a user.
