Generic template to autogenerate reports for software target testing

In a software testing application, a method of auto-generating reports for users testing one or more software targets, comprising:

• invoking an inner class template of executable code including,
• identifying all software cases to be tested per each said one or more software targets;
• executing each of the identified software cases by way of a JUnit testing framework and an Ant API, the utilizing avoiding any Ant scripting;
• and
• thereafter, auto-generating a report for users of the software testing application including generating a first report in an XML computing language for each of the identified software cases and transforming each of the XML reports into one or more second reports in an HTML computing language, the transforming occurring after the generating the XML reports for all of the identified software cases.

A software testing application in the form of a computer program product available as a download or on a computer readable media for installation as a process of a virtual machine on one or more computing devices, the software testing application for testing one or more software targets, comprising:

• a first component for identifying all software cases to be tested associated with each of the one or more software targets;
• a second component, different or same as the first component, for executing the identified software cases by way of a template common to the identified software cases;
• a third component, different or same as the first or second components, for obtaining testing results for the identified software cases having been executed;
• and
• a fourth component, different or same as the first, second or third components, for thereafter auto-generating a report for users of the software testing application including generating a first report in a first computing language for each of the identified software cases and transforming each of the first reports into one or more second reports in a second computing language different from the first computing language, the transforming occurring after the generating the first report for all of the identified software cases.

A computer program product having a data structure available as a download or on a computer-readable medium, the data structure for insertion as a template into an existing software testing application on one or more computing devices to autogenerate user reports, comprising:

• a first data field containing data representing an interaction with the software testing application to identify all software test case code;
• a second data field containing data representing a JUnit testing framework and an Ant API, the identified software test case code to be executed through the JUnit testing framework;
• a third data field containing data representing the auto-generation of XML reports by way of the Ant API based on testing results for the identified software cases having been executed;
• and
• a fourth data field containing data representing the transformation of the XML reports into another computing language for users.
