Techniques of the disclosure may include a computer-implemented method comprising displaying a GUI comprising a report including a first graphical representation of one or more data elements, receiving an input indicating a selection of a first data element included in the one or more data elements using an insight visualization tool; and displaying, as part of the GUI while maintaining display of the report, an insight view comprising respective graphical representations of a subset of the one or more data elements, the first data element included in the subset, wherein each of the respective graphical representations comprises one or more graphical regions corresponding to one or more sub-elements included in a data element represented by the respective graphical representation; and wherein the respective graphical representations of the insight view are displayed based at least in part on a display characteristic that defines the displaying of the report.

Generating an insight view while maintaining report context

A computer-implemented method includes displaying a GUI comprising a report including a first graphical representation of one or more data elements, receiving an input indicating a selection of a first data element included in the one or more data elements using an insight visualization tool, and displaying, as part of the GUI while maintaining display of the report, an insight view comprising respective graphical representations of a subset of the one or more data elements, the first data element included in the subset. Each of the respective graphical representations includes one or more graphical regions corresponding to one or more sub-elements included in a data element represented by the respective graphical representation and the respective graphical representations of the insight view are displayed based at least in part on a display characteristic that defines the displaying of the report.

A method for storing graphical user interface (GUI) object properties includes: storing GUI object properties for each GUI object for a starting version of an application in an object map; associating the stored GUI object properties for each GUI object with a starting version identifier; determining that at least one of the GUI objects is changed; in response to determining that the at least one GUI object is changed, storing modifications of the GUI object properties for the at least one GUI object in the object map; and associating the modifications of the GUI object properties for the at least one GUI object with a new version identifier of the application. Over time, the object map contains multiple variants of the GUI objects. An automation test tool may use this object map to intelligently select appropriate GUI object version for recognition at script run time.

Three-dimensional GUI object stores in automation test tools

A method, a system and a computer program product for managing graphical user interface (GUI) objects in a testing environment. GUI objects in the testing environment are uniquely identified and the GUI objects have corresponding test objects. The uniquely identified GUI objects in the test environment are sorted in response to the pre-defined hierarchy of properties belonging to the set of properties and the pre-defined hierarchy of properties includes at least one spatial property.
