Abstract

An application under test may be run in a test mode that receives a series of test scenarios and produces a set of test results under the control of a verification application. The verification application utilizes “typed-data” (i.e., data having known types that are associated with the data itself, e.g., XML-based data) such that a number of parameters can be set for each event and a number of result parameters can be checked for each result in at least one script. A series of scripts can be combined into an action file that may invoke scripts and override parameters within the invoked scripts. The events can be sent and received using a number of messaging protocols and communications adapters.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A system for testing an application under test, comprising:

a digital memory for storing computer code instructions independent of computer code instructions of the application under test;
a processor for controlling the system by reading and executing the computer code instructions stored in the digital memory independent of computer code instructions of the application under test, the processor reading and executing the computer code instructions stored in the digital memory performing the steps of:
reading an action file representing actions to be performed on the application under test;
requesting that the application under test perform the actions represented in the action file;
waiting for results that are produced by requesting that the application under test perform the actions represented in the action file;
and
generating a results file representing results of at least one test of the action file.
