Abstract
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method for generating test data for form validation, where the method includes maintaining metadata for a database, mapping a control field of the form to a column of the database, and generating test data based on the mapping and the metadata.
Claims20
A method for leveraging database metadata to generate test data for form validation, the method comprising:
- maintaining metadata for the database;
- mapping a control field of the form to a column of the database;
- and
- generating test data based on the mapping and the metadata.
A system for generating test data for validating a form, the system comprising:
- a metadata extraction engine to extract metadata from a database;
- a mapping engine to map a control field of the form to a column of the database;
- and
- a test data generation engine to generate test data for testing the form based on the metadata and the mapping.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed implement a method for using database metadata to generate test data for form logic validation, the method comprising:
- extracting metadata from table columns of the database;
- mapping a field of the form to a column of the database;
- and
- generating at least one of negative test data and test data for inter-field logic validation based on the mapped metadata.
