User interface (UI) bound OData automation with advanced data mapping algorithim

A system comprising:

• a memory storing processor-executable program code of a test automation module;
• and
• a processing unit to execute the processor-executable program code to cause the system to:
• receive a request initiated by a user action;
• convert the request to a plurality of OData calls;
• generate an automate for an application under test based on the plurality of OData calls by recording one or more user actions for the application under test;
• retrieve the automate for the application under test, the application under test including a user interface displaying at least one web object, the automate including UI-mode executable data and UI-less mode executable data;
• execute the automate, wherein execution of the automate further comprises:
• identifying at least one Open Data Protocol (OData) call in the automate;
• mapping at least one test data value for the web object to a corresponding parameter in the OData call, wherein the mapping is via a mapping logic algorithm that maps sequential dependencies between a plurality of OData calls;
• and
• executing the at least one OData call with the mapped at least one test data value, wherein execution of the at least one OData call outputs a response.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium having executable instructions stored therein to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a request initiated by a user action;
• converting the request to a plurality of OData calls;
• generating an automate for an application under test based on the plurality of OData calls by recording one or more user actions for the application under test;
• retrieving the automate for the application under test, the application under test including a user interface displaying at least one web object, the automate including UI-mode executable data and UI-less mode executable data;
• executing the automate comprising:
• (i) identifying a first Open Data Protocol (OData) call in the automate, wherein the automate includes the plurality of OData calls and the OData call represents a collection of data based on a user interaction with a user interface;
• (ii) mapping at least one test data value for the web object to a corresponding parameter in the OData call, wherein the mapping is via a mapping logic algorithm that maps sequential dependencies between the plurality of OData calls;
• and
• (iii) executing the at least one OData call with the mapped at least one test data value, wherein execution of the at least one OData call outputs a response.
