US Patent 11416377 Automated application testing system

Methods and apparatus are described by which a rich, time-correlated information set is captured during automated testing of an application in a way that allows the application developer to understand the state of the application under test (AUT), the browser interacting with the AUT, and/or the device interacting with the AUT, as it/they changed over time. Mechanisms or features associated with browsers and/or device operating systems are exploited to capture such information, not only for the purpose of better understanding individual test runs, but also to enable the use of analytics over data sets.
