1. A system for debugging an automated test, comprising a computer readable medium and a processor configured to fetch instructions from the computer readable medium and execute the instructions to implement a method comprising:
- monitoring an execution of a test script;
upon detection of a failed step of the test script in the process of testing an application under test, prompting a user to change at least one of the failed step of the test script and an object repository of objects belonging to the application under test; and
updating the at least one of the failed step of the script and the object repository according to input from the user entered in response to the prompting.
