Patent ID: 8914679

Claim:
An automated application test data processing system comprising: a reusable test automation framework comprising separable general functions, testing tasks, testing scenarios of the testing tasks and general functions, and test cases of the testing scenarios stored in a test case library, each test case in the library including an ordered arrangement of one or more scenarios and supplemental test data, each of the scenarios ordering a selection of the testing tasks in a test flow; a testing scenario generator coupled to the test automation framework and configured to produce the testing scenarios from an assembly of the testing tasks and general functions by automating the generation of testing tasks based upon user specified parameters the tasks conforming to a common interface for scenarios in a tasks layer and scenario layer of the test automation framework; a task generator coupled to the testing scenario generator and configured to produce the testing tasks; and, a test automation controller for testing the application in a target testing environment by applying the test case to the application. providing the test case to a test automation controller for testing the application in a target testing environment.
