Simulated and/or automated user input, such as a touch input event, instead of comprising an actual user touch of a touchscreen, touchpad, or the like, may comprise a command provided over a data network 106 or other digital communications channel, triggering a user input event, a touch input event, or the like remotely (e.g., in an automated fashion). A simulated and/or automated user input event such as a touch input event may have the same or similar effect on a hardware device 102 receiving the simulated and/or automated user input event as an actual user input event performed and/or triggered directly by an actual user.
A testing module 302, in certain embodiments, may pause or wait a delay period between automated and/or simulated user interface commands (e.g., user input events, touch input events, or the like), to simulate input provided by an actual user, with natural pauses, delays, and/or timing. In a further embodiment, a user may manually step through a script or other list of commands and/or user input events, using a graphical user interface (GUI) of a testing module 302 (e.g., by selecting a “next” button, or the like to move to the next command or instruction in the script).
