DYNAMICALLY DETERMINED ADAPTIVE TIMEOUT VALUE FOR DETECTING GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE ELEMENT OF APPLICATION UNDERGOING FUNCTIONAL TESTING

摘要

An adaptive timeout value for a script operation associated with functional testing of an application is determined. The script operation specifies detecting display of a specific graphical user interface (GUI) element by the application. The adaptive timeout value is dynamically determined based on prior functional testing of the application. Responsive to encountering the script operation within a script while functionally testing the application under direction of the script, waiting occurs until display of the specific GUI element by the application has been detected, or until timing out has occurred in correspondence with the dynamically determined adaptive timeout value.
