US 2006/0136579 A1 · Method of executing test scripts against multiple systems

Abstract

A method of executing a plurality of tests scripts or one or more test script sets against a plurality of systems to be tested. The method comprises providing an instance of a test script set on a server, writing an initial system value corresponding to an initial system to be tested on a web page file hosted on the server, retrieving the initial system value from the web page file and launching a URL using the initial system value retrieved to execute the test script set against the initial system to be tested. The method further includes overwriting the web page file to change the initial system value to a next system value corresponding to a next system to be tested, retrieving the next system value from the web page file and launching a next URL using the next system value retrieved to execute the test script set against the next system to be tested.

Dependent claims

A method of executing a set of automated test scripts against a plurality of systems, said method comprising the steps, of:

(a) providing an instance of said set of automated test scripts on a server;
(b) writing to a system-under-test web page file hosted on said server an initial system-under-test value corresponding to an initial system to be tested;

A method of executing multiple sets of automated test scripts against a plurality of systems to be tested, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a test script execution manager for executing said multiple sets of automated test scripts;
(b) providing an instance of said multiple sets of automated test scripts on a server;
(c) appending a get-system script to the beginning of each individual test script within each of said multiple sets of automated test scripts for retrieving a desired system value corresponding to a desired one of said plurality of systems to be tested;
(d) selecting a desired one of a plurality of set-system scripts corresponding to said desired one of said plurality of systems to be tested;
(e) selecting one or more test script sets from said multiple sets of automated test scripts to be executed against said desired one of said plurality of systems selected;
(f) repeating steps (d) and (e) until at least one set from said multiple sets of automated test scripts has been selected for each of said plurality of systems to be tested;
and
(g) directing said test script execution manager to execute said one or more test script sets selected against a respective one of said plurality of systems to be tested selected.
