Embodiments of the invention relate automatically generating and positioning user interface elements. In one embodiment, user interface elements are automatically generated and positioned on a user interface. At least one test script associated with a user interface is received as an input. The test script includes a set of test instructions. Each test instruction in the set of test instructions is parsed. A set of user interface elements referenced by each test instruction is identified in response to the parsing. A determination is made as to whether the user interface includes the set of user interface elements. At least one user interface element in the set of user interface elements is generated in response to the user interface failing to include the at least one user interface element.
