Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor operable to: receive a first indication that a first component is selected from a plurality of components, wherein the first component represents a first at least one test action; determine that a first input parameter is associated with the first component and that a particular hint is associated with the first input parameter; communicate a message to a repository, the message comprising a request to access the particular hint; access the particular hint; display the hint to a user, the hint comprising a message explaining to the user certain details about the first input parameter that guide the user to choose a particular input parameter; receive a second indication that a second component is selected from the plurality of components, wherein the second component represents a second at least one test action; receive, from the user, a third indication that a first automation tool is selected from a plurality of automation tools for implementing instructions of a test case; determine a first instruction associated with the first component, wherein the first instruction corresponds to first computer logic for executing the first at least one test action; determine a second instruction associated with the second component, wherein the second instruction corresponds to second computer logic for executing the second at least one test action; generate a test case file comprising the first instruction and the second instruction; and associate the test case file with an application under test.
