AUTOMATED GENERATION OF SCRIPTED AND MANUAL TEST CASES

摘要

Systems and methods that provide manual test cases and scripted test cases automatically based on metadata included in a software application. In an embodiment, an application may include elements that generate an output file containing information corresponding to one or more forms with one or more fields in an application. The information may be utilized by a test device or application to automatically generate manual test cases, automated scripted test cases, or a combination of manual and automated test cases based on the information. In an embodiment, a manual test case may include a sequence of instructions in a natural language format. In an embodiment, an automated test case may be in a script language configured to interact with the application or an appropriate application emulator.

1. A method of generating test cases comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a test application in an executable format, the test application including a plurality of forms; simulating the execution of the test application with the processor; iterating through each one of the plurality of forms of the test application; detecting a field in at least one form of the plurality of forms inspecting a field included in the at least one form for metadata in the test application; generating, based on the metadata, at least one test case corresponding to the field; storing the test case in a first format; and storing the test case in a second format.
