Abstract
An automated testing system is described for efficient visual verification of graphical user interfaces of software applications. A pattern is formed for the user interface of a page of the application indicating regions of the page where user interface elements should be located and identifying which user interface element should be located in which region. During test execution, image recognition is performed using previously stored snapshots of user interface elements to determine whether the application's user interface elements appear in correct positions on the page.
