Abstract:
A framework for developing and testing a software wizard formalizes, through constraint functions, relationships between different pages of the software wizard. A sequence of user interface (UI) pages of a software wizard is generated in accordance with this framework by carrying out the steps of displaying a first UI page that includes a first UI element for causing a transition to a next UI page of the software wizard, wherein the first UI page is associated with one or more constraint functions, detecting an input event that triggers the one or more constraint functions of the first UI page to produce an output that identifies the next UI page in the sequence of UI pages of the software wizard, and transitioning to the next UI page based on the output.
