Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: generating a command to define a generic test for an application in response to user input, the generic test comprises a reusable module defining a plurality of test commands, wherein the plurality of test commands are agnostic with respect to a test engine and the application, wherein the reusable module comprises a test layer that specifies functionality of the application to be tested by a test procedure comprising the plurality of test commands, wherein the functionality is defined by a function layer that comprises a function database table comprising a column for a run mark to indicate whether a function is running, a related to identifier to indicate to which process the function is associated, a host to identify a list of application options, a process identifier to indicate a level of the process, a function position to indicate a location in the process, a description to explain a purpose of the function, an expected result to indicate a value expected to be received from the function, an actual value to indicate test data received after the function has executed, or a function name to differentiate the function from other functions; converting, by a processor, the plurality of test commands into the test procedure in a programming language compatible with the test engine and the application; and performing, by the processor, an automated test of the application using the test procedure.
