1. A method for testing a dashboard framework in an online demand service environment, the method comprising: identifying a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application created by a computing system and displayed on a display of the computing system, the GUI application having a plurality of elements on the online demand service environment; capturing a first set of text values for the plurality of elements for the GUI application in a first state, each text value of the first set of text values representing an element attribute; normalizing at least some of the first set of text values of the plurality of elements to remove the text value element attributes and to form a set of normalized values for the at least some of the first set of text values of the plurality of elements by replacing a first text value element attribute of the first set of text values in the GUI application with a first canonical value that matches a first corresponding benchmark value for a first corresponding element, the first canonical value replacing the text value element attributes associated with the GUI application that change from a first run of the GUI application to a second run of the GUI application; comparing the first set of normalized values for the plurality of elements with a first set of benchmark values for the GUI application in the first state; and validating the first set of normalized values for the plurality of elements when the first set of normalized values for the plurality of elements matches the first set of benchmark values for the GUI application in the first state.
