Human-computer interface (HCI) test driver
First Claim
1. A method for driving a computer interface on a computer platform that executes test software, the method comprising:
- connecting the computer interface with an input provider via a thread;
communicating a command file having an instruction for execution on the computer interface;
providing driver software to the computer interface;
executing the instruction on the computer interface using the driver software to produce a result, wherein the instruction mimics a command from the input provider; and
transmitting the result from the computer interface to the input provider.

Abstract
A method and a system for driving a computer interface for a user is provided. The system includes an interface client having a computer platform, a test driver having software on the computer platform; a window displayed to the interface client, the window providing an interface between the computer platform and the user; and a command file that provides an instruction to the computer interface for executing by the driver software, such that the instruction mimics a user input. The method includes providing instructions through a command file having an instruction for execution on the computer interface, providing driver software to the computer interface, and executing the instruction on the computer interface using the driver software, such that the instruction mimics a user input.
