Abstract
Examples described herein include systems and methods for test automation of a graphical user interface (GUI) using a screen element structure. The test automation can utilize a test script that identifies screen elements and corresponding actions to perform. The test script can identify screen elements with physical identifiers. The test automation can request the screen element structure from a server and retrieve one or more logical identifiers that correspond to the physical identifier. This can allow the test automation to use the logical identifier that is suitable for the particular GUI screen being tested and the automation platform itself. The test script can remain the same even when logical identifiers evolve since the screen element structure can be updated to include new logical identifiers.
