SOFTWARE TEST AUTOMATION

摘要

In an approach for testing a software application on a target system, a computer provides a test framework being executed on a test framework system, the system being coupled with the target system via network and receives a test scenario by the test framework, the scenario including information regarding a software application to be tested, the target system on which said software application should be executed and regarding one or multiple protocols supported by the target system. The computer interprets information included in said scenario by said test framework and deriving properties associated with at least one software application to be generated based on said information interpretation. The computer then generates an executable software application in a programming language, said application being adapted to the target system by using said derived software application properties. The computer triggers execution of said application thereby obtaining test results, and evaluates said results.

1. A computer-implemented method for testing a software application on a target system, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a test framework, the test framework being executed on a test framework system, the test framework system being coupled with the target system via network; receiving a test scenario by the test framework, the test scenario including information regarding a software application to be tested, information regarding the target system on which said software application should be executed and information regarding one or multiple protocols supported by the target system; interpreting information included in said test scenario by said test framework and deriving properties associated with at least one software application to be generated based on said information interpretation; generating at least one executable software application in at least one programming language, said software application being adapted to the target system by using said derived software application properties; triggering execution of said software application thereby obtaining test results; and evaluating said test results.
