Base Claim:
1. An automated computer-implemented test method, comprising: storing, in a synonymy dictionary of a computer-implemented test system, a group of synonyms including a plurality of synonyms corresponding to a plurality of different languages for a property value of a property of an object of a globalized software product to be tested in different test locales, wherein the globalized software product and the object are digitally encoded in a storage medium; performing a pre-recorded test script on the software product; identifying the object in the software product, including the property value; comparing the property value of the property of the object to a corresponding property value in the test script and the group of synonyms in the synonymy dictionary corresponding to the property value; and determining if the object passes the test based on whether the property value matches either the property value in the test script or one of the synonyms in the synonymy dictionary corresponding to the property.

Claim 4:
4. The automated computer-implemented test method according to claim 1 , wherein: the property values having the same meaning are associated and stored in the synonymy dictionary via a synonymy interface; and detecting whether the property value of the property in the object in the software product to be tested and the corresponding property value pre-recorded in the test script match with each other is done by detecting whether they are associated and stored in the synonymy dictionary.
