  • improved node equality comparison to match the principle of lexical, syntactical and semantical node equality. As a result, more condensed task trees are created.

10 * <p>
11 * This rule compares GUI event tasks (i.e. it is more concrete, than the
12 * {@link EventTaskComparisonRule}). Two GUI event tasks are only equal if their event type and
13 * target are equal. The returned equality is even more fine-grained for events whose type is
14 * {@link TextInput} and {@link ValueSelection}. For text inputs, lexical equality is returned if
15 * the same text is entered using the same key interactions. Syntactical equality is returned if
16 * the same text is entered using different key interactions. Semantical equality is returned if
17 * different text is entered, but into the same event target. Value selections are syntactically
18 * equal, if the same value is selected. Otherwise they are semantically equal.
19 * </p>
