A technique for mapping objects of a user scenario with objects of a user interface includes registering a user scenario with a user interface automation framework. The user scenario including a first object that is also included in a first user interface. The first object has an associated semantically annotated first field and the user scenario includes a list of actions for objects of the first user interface. The technique also includes generating a second user interface from the first user interface by modifying the first object to create a second object, which has an associated semantically annotated second field. Finally, the technique includes mapping the first object to the second object based on the first and second fields.
