Zusammenfassung:A test script generation method comprises first parsing a previous test script for a GUI, parsing a model associated with a GUI, and identifying GUI actions identified by keywords that exist in the pre-existing script, and generating a new test script by adding the identified actions. The parsing may be done with a natural language parser, and act upon a manually generated pre-existing script. GUI actions in the pre-existing script may be added to a candidate list, with only possible actions added to the new test script, where the action may be flagged. The new script may be generated from an empty template. If no matching GUI elements are found, then the process halts to allow a user to input the appropriate action; any successful decisions from the candidate list or user-input may be added to a keyword element pair for future manual parsing.
