Abstract:
1. A method for an online testing unification system, comprising: creating a test plan for a test system, the test plan including a plurality of test cases, said creating a test plan including: generating a script file based on each of the plurality of test cases; estimating execution time and configuration prerequisite of the execution of the script file; executing the script file in a remote test system; displaying progress of the corresponding test case in real time with execution of the script file, said displaying progress including a completion percentage of the test plan, a listing of each test step and an icon representing status of each test step; storing results of the execution of the script file in a knowledge database; storing the created test plan in the knowledge database, wherein the online testing unification system includes an automated test execution with intelligence (ATE-I) module which executes an entire test plan, the ATE-I module being configured to identify a type of test case from at least one of automated, manual or semi-automated and executing the test cases to meet predefined criteria, the ATE-I module being further configured to insert test procedures between execution of each test case and to randomize test case execution; reporting results of the execution of the script file, where the reporting includes a set of predefined requisite fields and an open text field for result details; and providing test histories for performing at least one of a defect analysis or an overall test case effectiveness analysis.
