Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing software having a user interface are presented in various embodiments. The method generally entails evolving a test sequence by generating random test actions. A test sequence is created by assembling a set of interface components associated with an interface window. One of the interface components is randomly selected, and a random action is generated to apply to the interface component. The test sequence is documented by recording data that identifies the interface component and the action, and the action is then applied to the user interface.
