Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for synchronizing a software verification flow of an application under test (AUT) that uses a user interface. Various embodiments of the methods identify generic application programming interface(s) (API(s)), map menu items of the AUT to logical names, and generate generated API(s) based on the generic API(s) and the mapping results. Some embodiments further generate a custom API by using generated API(s) and implement synchronization accordingly. Some embodiments are directed at a hardware system for performing various methods, while some other embodiments are directed at an article of manufacture for storing a sequence of instructions for various methods disclosed herein.

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for synchronizing software verification flows

Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for synchronizing a software verification flow of an application that uses a user interface. Various embodiments comprise implementing a menu item as a widget and identifying an operation associated with the menu item. A synchronizer is further identified or created for the operation and then registered with the operation such that the synchronizer is activated when the operation is invoked during the software verification flow. Once activated, the synchronizer takes over control of the verification flow and prevents the verification flow from proceeding until a criterion is fulfilled. The synchronizer may be reused among different tests, and the same test case may be rerun on different machines with different computing performance and workloads without producing false positives or false negatives.
