Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for creating a test script. The invention begins processing when a user requests the automatic creation of a test script. When the user next enters data on a graphical user interface, the data is sent to a display server which manages the input and output on the graphical user interface. The display server creates an event corresponding to the type of input entered on the graphical user interface. In order to examine the context within which the event occurred, the present invention interposes a new version of a routine into the system so that the new routine is called when the GUI program attempts to retrieve the event from the display server buffer. Interposing ensures that the new version of the routine will be invoked before the original version of the routine. The interposed version of the routine examines the event, extracts relevant information regarding the event, and sends the information back to a module which automatically creates the test script from the information. Next, the interposed version of the routine examines and saves information regarding the context within which the event occurs (e.g., saving information regarding the widget within which the user action took place).
