Abstract
An apparatus may include a processor () that may generate automated test scripts to test graphical user interface (GUI) functions of an application under test (AUT) (). The apparatus may generate a screen element () that is overlaid onto at least one or all of the GUIs (). The screen element () may therefore receive user inputs directed at the GUI (), but block such inputs from being provided to the GUI (). The user inputs received at the screen element () may be recorded in an automated test script for later replay. Blocking the user input may prevent a change in appearance of a GUI element () that would otherwise result from the user input, facilitating automated location of the GUI element () during replay of the automated test script.
