Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to test automation systems with pre-compilers to validate various steps associated with a test script. An artificial intelligence (AI)-based pre-compiler may use natural language processing (NLP) to validate various steps associated with a test script associated with an application. Other aspects of this disclosure relate to automated encryption and mocking of test input data associated with test scripts.
Claims20
A system for pre-compilation and executing of test scripts, the system comprising:
- a user computing device configured to submit, via a source code collaboration system and to a test automation platform:
- a test script associated with an application, wherein the test script comprises an ordered sequence of a plurality of steps for testing the application, and
- input test data associated with the plurality of steps;
- and
- the test automation platform communicatively to the user computing device, the test automation platform comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the test automation platform to:
- receive, from the user computing device, the test script and the input test data;
- prior to compiling the test script:
- evaluate, using a natural language processing (NLP)-based evaluation module, the plurality of steps associated with the test script;
- determine, based on one or more rules, that a first portion and a second portion of the input test data comprises sensitive information;
- and
- based on the determining that the first portion and the second portion of the input test data comprises sensitive information,
- encrypting the first portion of the input test data, and
- mocking the second portion of the input test data, wherein
- the mocking comprises replacing the second portion of the input test data with mock data;
- add, based on successful evaluation of the test script, the test script and modified input test data to a source code repository, wherein the modified input test data comprises the encrypted first portion of the input test data, and the mocked second portion of the input test data;
- compile the test script in the source code repository;
- execute, based on a trigger and for testing the application, the test script, wherein the modified input test data is used as an input for the application;
- and
- send, based on the execution of the test script, a test report, wherein the test report is based on a comparison between:
- expected outcomes based on the execution of the test script, and
- determined outcomes based on execution of the test script.

- and
- sending, based on the execution of the test script, a test report, wherein the test report is based on a comparison between:
- expected outcomes based on the execution of the test script, and
- determined outcomes based on execution of the test script.
