Aspect and system landscape capability-driven automatic testing of software applications

摘要

In a system and a method, a sub-test catalog is retrieved from a test catalog repository. A test aspect of the sub-test catalog is compared to an aspect of a software application to be tested. A required system capability of the sub-test catalog is compared to the capabilities of a system landscape based on a determination that the sub-test catalog test aspect matches the aspect of the software application to be tested. The system landscape includes at least one system. The sub-test catalog is added to a master test catalog based on a determination that the required system capability of the sub-test catalog matches the system landscape capabilities.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
retrieving a sub-test catalog from a test catalog repository, the sub-test catalog comprising a plurality of tests, each of the plurality of tests configured to test one or more aspects of a software application, a description of each of the one or more aspects of the software application to be tested by each of the plurality of tests being included in a set of descriptions of test aspects of the sub-test catalog; comparing, by at least one processor, the set of descriptions of test aspects of the sub-test catalog to a description of an aspect of a software application to be tested; based on a determination that one of the set of descriptions of test aspects of the sub-test catalog corresponds to the description of the aspect of the software application to be tested, comparing, by the at least one processor, a description of a required system capability of the sub-test catalog to a set of descriptions of capabilities of a system landscape, the system landscape comprising at least one system; and based on a determination that the description of the required system capability of the sub-test catalog corresponds to one of the set of descriptions of capabilities of the system landscape, adding the sub-test catalog to a master test catalog for the software application to be tested.
