An improved method and system for detecting differences between first and second test executive sequence files in a computer system. Each of the test executive sequence files may comprise a plurality of interrelated objects. The objects may be compared and differences between the objects may be displayed. The objects may comprise one or more of: a sequence; a global variable; and/or a data type. A sequence may comprise: a step, a parameter, and/or a local variable. A step of a sequence may comprise a tree structure of step properties. Each step property may comprise one or more of: a property value, property flags, and/or a property comment. An object may comprise a hierarchy of objects (e.g., a parent object and a child sub-object). Differences between the hierarchy of objects may be detected. Differences may be navigated. Each displayed difference may be characterized as an insertion or a deletion.
A computer-implemented method for detecting differences between first and second test executive sequence files in a computer system, the method comprising:
A computer-implemented method for detecting differences between a first test executive sequence file and a second test executive sequence file in a computer system, the method comprising:
A memory medium comprising program instructions for detecting differences between first and second test executive sequence files in a computer system, wherein the program instructions are executable to implement:
A memory medium comprising program instructions for detecting differences between a first test executive sequence file and a second test executive sequence file in a computer system, wherein the memory medium stores:
