Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for testing a software application component that uses objects stored in a persistent data store, the method comprising: providing, by a computer, a dependent object framework, the dependent object framework including a set of static methods, a set of dependent object files, and a set of properties files; receiving, by the computer, a test program for testing the software application component, the test program referencing one or more objects stored in the data store, the one or more objects being described by the set of dependent object files; loading, by the computer, the one or more objects into the data store using at least one of the static methods of the dependent object framework, wherein loading the one or more objects further includes: determining whether the one or more objects exist in the data store; and in response to determining that at least some of the objects do not exist in the data store, creating the at least some objects using a recursive depth first creation method; running, by the computer, the received test program on the software application component; and displaying, by the computer, a result produced by the test program, the result indicating a functionality of the software application component.
