APPARATUSES, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CONDUCTING AUTOMATED TESTS

摘要

Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are provided that conduct an automated test by creating automated testing scripts that are readable by automated testing software without requiring the automated testing scripts to be created by a programmer with knowledge of the particular scripting language used by the automated testing software. Rather, a test case template is generated by receiving input from the user in the form of keywords and selections that are not specified in a particular scripting language. Instructions for converting the test case template into a readable format are accessed by the automated testing software, such that the automated testing software can read the test case template as though it were created in the corresponding scripting language of the automated testing software, thereby allowing the automated testing software to execute the automated test.

1. A method of conducting an automated test comprising:
generating, via a processor, a test case template by:
receiving a selection by a user of an object class to be tested from a list of predefined object classes; andreceiving a selection by the user of a test action from one or more test actions determined, via the processor, to be available based on the object class selected; accessing a keyword function library including instructions for configuring an automated test using the test case template; and executing the automated test based on the instructions in the keyword function library.
