Application Under Test (AUT)

In automated testing, the application software to be tested can be of various types, such as Windows desktop applications, Web, Java, mobile applications, or embedded devices.

Test Object

In automated testing, the information in the controls of the application under test is identified, extracted, and stored in an object. Used to re-identify the tested control. The model manager is usually used to identify the controls in the application under test to obtain the corresponding test object. The test object also encapsulates the operation method and attribute API of the corresponding control. The code operates the control by calling the API on the test object to realize automatic operation

Test Model

The file of the test object is stored persistently. In CukeTest, the test model is a file with the suffix of *.tmodel, and multiple types of test objects can be stored in one file.
