A script directing functional testing of an application specifies values for properties of a specific graphical user interface (GUI) and specifies an image of the specific GUI element. A computing device detects whether the application has displayed the specific GUI element by evaluating the values for the properties of the specific GUI element against GUI elements that the application has displayed. If unsuccessful, the computing device detects whether the application has displayed the specific GUI element by evaluating the image of the specific GUI element against a screen image including the GUI elements that the application has displayed.

Detection of graphical user interface element of application undergoing functional testing

An adaptive timeout value for a script operation associated with functional testing of an application is determined. The script operation specifies detecting display of a specific graphical user interface (GUI) element by the application. The adaptive timeout value is dynamically determined based on prior functional testing of the application. Responsive to encountering the script operation within a script while functionally testing the application under direction of the script, waiting occurs until display of the specific GUI element by the application has been detected, or until timing out has occurred in correspondence with the dynamically determined adaptive timeout value.
