computer executes
search command extension procedure of capturing a certain screen element by using each of a plurality of locators designated in a source code of a test script regarding a screen of an application, and
locator correction procedure of correcting the source code so as to replace, among the plurality of locators, a value of a first locator that has failed to capture the certain screen element with a value of an attribute corresponding to a type of the first locator in the certain screen element.
7 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute a test script correction program causing:
search command extension procedure of capturing a certain screen element by using each of a plurality of locators designated in a source code of a test script regarding a screen of an application; and
a locator correction procedure of correcting the source code so as to replace, among the plurality of locators, a value of a first locator that has failed to capture the certain screen element with a value of an attribute corresponding to a type of the first locator in the certain screen element.
8 . The test script correction method according to claim 6 , wherein
in a case where the first locator can capture a screen element different from the certain screen element, and the certain screen element has the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator, the locator correction unit rewrites the value of the first locator to the value of the attribute.
9 . The test script correction method according to claim 6 , wherein
in a case where the first locator can capture a screen element different from the certain screen element, and the certain screen element does not have the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator, the locator correction unit deletes the first locator from the source code.
10 . The test script correction method according to claim 6 , wherein
the screen element is captured by using the plurality of locators in an order designated in the source code, and
the source code is rewritten so as to replace the value of the first locator with the value of the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator in a screen element that is captured first.
11 . The test script correction method according to claim 10 , comprising:
for each type of the locator, the number of times the value has been rewritten is recorded and changes the order of the plurality of locators designated in the source code to an ascending order of the number of times regarding the plurality of locators.
12 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 wherein the test script correction method further comprises:
in a case where the first locator can capture a screen element different from the certain screen element, and the certain screen element has the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator, the locator correction unit rewrites the value of the first locator to the value of the attribute.
13 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 wherein the test script correction method further comprises:
in a case where the first locator can capture a screen element different from the certain screen element, and the certain screen element does not have the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator, the locator correction unit deletes the first locator from the source code.
14 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 wherein the test script correction method further comprises:
the screen element is captured by using the plurality of locators in an order designated in the source code, and
the source code is rewritten so as to replace the value of the first locator with the value of the attribute corresponding to the type of the first locator in a screen element that is captured first.
15 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 14 wherein the test script correction method further comprises:
for each type of the locator, the number of times the value has been rewritten is recorded and changes the order of the plurality of locators designated in the source code to an ascending order of the number of times regarding the plurality of locators.
