Patent ID: 8769487

Claim:
A system comprising: a processor; a memory configured to store: a technical documentation file; and a command configuration database; a script generation engine, executing on the processor and configured to: generate a test script comprising a test command instruction obtained from the technical documentation file; submit a first query to the command configuration database using the test command instruction; receive, in response to the first query, a first command entry comprising an input parameter argument and an input parameter state of the test command instruction; submit a second query to the command configuration database using the input parameter argument and the input parameter state; receive, in response to the second query, a second command entry comprising a prerequisite command instruction, an output parameter argument, and an output parameter state, wherein the output parameter argument matches the input parameter argument and the output parameter state matches the input parameter state; modify the test script to obtain an updated test script, wherein the updated test script comprises the prerequisite command instruction; and execute the updated test script on a target operating system, wherein executing the prerequisite command instruction generates an output parameter comprising the output parameter argument and the output parameter state, and wherein executing the test command instruction consumes the output parameter.
