Method and system for enabling self-maintainable test automation

A system for enabling self-maintainable test automation, said system comprising:

• a processor;
• a test automation repository coupled with the processor and configured to store a test automation suite and one or more historical test scenarios;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
• receive one or more input test scenarios associated with one or more applications executing in a real time environment;
• compare the one or more input test scenarios with the one or more corresponding historical test scenarios to identify one or more functional changes associated with the one or more input test scenarios, wherein the one or more corresponding historical test scenarios include a collection of test scenarios, each test scenario arranged from an ordered combination of selected steps and supplemental test data based on one or more test user actions;
• determine one or more reusable automation units of the one or more input test scenarios based on the comparison, wherein the one or more reusable automation units are a collection or logical grouping of the selected steps;
• determine one or more test data units corresponding to the one or more reusable automation units thus determined wherein the one or more test data units are a collection or logical group of the supplemental test data that can be used by the one or more reusable automation units;
• and
• update automatically, in a real-time environment, by the test automation system, the one or more reusable automation units and the one or more test data units based on an identification of the one or more functional changes associated with the one or more input test scenarios.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a test automation system to perform acts of:

• receiving one or more input test scenarios associated with one or more applications executing in a real time environment;
• comparing the one or more input test scenarios with one or more corresponding historical test scenarios to identify one or more functional changes associated with the one or more input test scenarios, wherein the one or more corresponding historical test scenarios include a collection of test scenarios, each test scenario arranged from an ordered combination of selected steps and supplemental test data based on one or more test user actions;
• determining one or more reusable automation units of the one or more input test scenarios based on the comparison, wherein the one or more reusable automation units are a collection or logical grouping of the selected steps;
• determining one or more test data units corresponding to the one or more reusable automation units thus determined, wherein the one or more test data units are a collection or logical group of the supplemental test data that can be used by the one or more reusable automation units;
• and
• updating automatically, in a real-time environment, by the test automation system, the one or more reusable automation units and the one or more test data units based on an identification of the one or more functional changes associated with the one or more input test scenarios.
