Method and device for automating testing based on context parsing across multiple technology layers

A testing automation device for automating testing of an application across a plurality of technology layers, the testing automation device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
• receive a plurality of test instructions for performing testing of the application, wherein each of the plurality of test instructions comprises at least one action and at least one object;
• cluster the plurality of test instructions into a plurality of technology groups based on an analysis of the plurality of test instructions, wherein each technology group in the plurality of technology groups is associated with a technology layer from the plurality of technology layers, wherein for the analysis of the plurality of test instructions, the processor instructions further cause the processor to perform a textual comparison of an action in a test instruction with an action in a succeeding test instruction that succeeds the test instruction to determine a similarity score, compare the similarity score with a predetermined threshold score, and determine whether the test instruction and the succeeding test instruction are to be clustered, based on the comparison of the similarity score with the predetermined threshold score;
• create an automation component for a set of test instructions in each of the plurality of technology groups, based on actions and objects in an associated set of test instructions;
• identify for each technology group a context information to be passed from an automation component associated with a technology layer to a downstream automation component associated with a succeeding technology layer, based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the plurality of test instructions;
• and
• execute testing of the application based on the automation component created for each technology group and an associated context information to be passed to the downstream automation component.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions causing a computer comprising one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a plurality of test instructions for performing testing of the application, wherein each of the plurality of test instructions comprises at least one action and at least one object;
• clustering the plurality of test instructions into a plurality of technology groups based on an analysis of the plurality of test instructions, wherein each technology group in the plurality of technology groups is associated with a technology layer from the plurality of technology layers, wherein the analysis of the plurality of test instructions comprising performing a textual comparison of an action in a test instruction with an action in a succeeding test instruction that succeeds the test instruction to determine a similarity score, comparing the similarity score with a predetermined threshold score;
• and determining whether the test instruction and the succeeding test instruction are to be clustered, based on the comparison of the similarity score with the predetermined threshold score;
• creating an automation component for a set of test instructions in each of the plurality of technology groups, based on actions and objects in an associated set of test instructions;
• identifying for each technology group a context information to be passed from an automation component associated with a technology layer to a downstream automation component associated with a succeeding technology layer, based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the plurality of test instructions;
• and
• executing testing of the application based on the automation component created for each technology group and an associated context information to be passed to the downstream automation component.
