Claim:
1. A method comprising: mapping generic interface commands to tool-specific interface commands of a test automation tool; creating an application-specific element map based on an application for test, wherein the application-specific element map is created by parsing source code for the application under test and includes label names for elements of the application-specific element map; creating application-specific user actions based on the generic interface commands and the application-specific element map; sending the application-specific user actions to the test automation tool for testing the application; translating an application-specific test case to the application-specific user actions; using values from application-specific test data to populate the application-specific user actions; translating the populated application-specific user actions to the generic interface commands to create populated generic interface commands; and translating the populated generic interface commands to tool-specific interface commands based on the mapping the generic interface commands to tool-specific interface commands.
