Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for dynamically generating automation test scripts for software applications comprising multiple versions. The system is configured for identifying a new version of a software code associated with a software application in a code repository in a software development environment, scanning the new version of the software code, identifying new changes to the software code based on scanning the new version of the software code, analyzing the new changes to determine impact associated with the new changes, determining a first set of new changes from the new changes that have an impact on an automation base repository associated with testing the software code, identifying locators associated with the first set of new changes, dynamically creating a new version of a test repository corresponding to the new version in the code repository, and updating the new version of the test repository with the locators.

Dependent claims

A system for dynamically generating automation test scripts for software applications comprising multiple versions, comprising:

at least one processing device;
at least one memory device;
and
a module stored in the at least one memory device comprising executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
identify a new version of a software code associated with a software application in a code repository in a software development environment;
scan the new version of the software code;
identify new changes to the software code based on scanning the new version of the software code;
analyze the new changes via a Bayesian network to determine impact associated with the new changes;
determine, via the Bayesian network, a first set of new changes from the new changes that have an impact on an automation base repository associated with testing the software code;
identify locators associated with the first set of new changes, via an Apriori algorithm;
extract values associated with the locators;
dynamically create a new version of a test repository corresponding to the new version in the code repository;
update the new version of the test repository with the locators and the values of the locators;
update the automation base repository used for generating automation test scripts associated with the software application with the new version of the test repository;
and
generate one or more automation test scripts for testing the new version of the software code based on the locators and the values of the locators in the base repository.
