Weex Page Mocking with Puppeteer for Large‑Scale UI Sample Generation

To solve the shortage of annotated UI data for UI2CODE, the team uses Puppeteer to load Weex pages, traverses the DOM to gather text and image elements, records their styles and positions, screenshots the page, and repeatedly swaps content, automatically generating thousands of realistic, labeled UI samples from a few hundred templates, greatly cutting manual labeling effort and boosting model accuracy.

Understanding the PageObject Pattern for UI Automation

UI automation often suffers from maintenance headaches when page layouts change, requiring updates to every interaction; the PageObject pattern addresses this by separating element locators from operation logic into distinct layers (appium, pages, operation, test), enabling reusable, readable code and simplifying updates to only the pages layer.
