Hidden Object Detection for Computer Vision Based Test Automation System

摘要

In Software Quality Assurance, computer vision based automation tools are used to test the window based application and window contains many type of objects like button, box, list, etc. Automation tool detect window objects by comparing images. Most of the objects are visible in the screen but some are not visible to the screen at the first time, proper interaction with the window application hidden objects get visible to the screen like drop-down list item, editor text object, list box item and slider. With the vision based automation systems these hidden objects cannot be searched directly. In this paper proposes some methods which use image and shortcut key to interact with the testing software to search the hidden objects. These methods will enhance the automation tools to access the window application hidden objects faster.
