METHOD FOR VIRTUALIZATION OF INPUT DEVICES FOR PARALLEL EXECUTION OF TEST AUTOMATION SCRIPTS

A method in one embodiment includes generating several test automation scripts, each test automation script being generated by methodology comprising: recording interactions with a graphical user interface of an application under test, some of the interactions including input from a pointer, some of the interactions including input from a keyboard; recording the interactions; and storing the interactions in a test automation script. The method further includes, on a single computing device: executing multiple of the generated test automation scripts in parallel, each of the scripts interacting with a separate instance of one of the applications under test; and simulating a virtual pointer and a virtual keyboard for each of the test automation scripts being executed.
