Automated test planning using test case relevancy

A method for automated test planning, comprising:

• detecting, by a first test automation tool executing on one or more processors, a first set of parameters defining one or more software environments to be tested, wherein the first set of parameters includes at least a component to be tested;
• responsive to detecting the first set of parameters, identifying, by the first test automation tool, a general test plan, wherein the general test plan includes a first set of test cases, and wherein the first set of test cases are defined by the first set of parameters;
• responsive to identifying the general test plan, detecting, by the first test automation tool, a first set of test case relevancy rules for a first test case of the first set of test cases included in the general test plan;
• and
• creating, by the first test automation tool, an errata test plan based on the general test plan, wherein the errata test plan includes a second set of test cases, and wherein creating the errata test plan includes filtering at least the first test case of the first set of test cases by comparing the first set of parameters with a first rule of the first set of test case relevancy rules.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions for automated test planning, which when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• detect, by a first test automation tool executing on the computer system, a first set of parameters defining one or more software environments to be tested, wherein the first set of parameters includes at least a component to be tested;
• responsive to detecting the first set of parameters, identify, by the first test automation tool, a general test plan, wherein the general test plan includes a first set of test cases, and wherein the first set of test cases are defined by the first set of parameters;
• responsive to identifying the general test plan, detect, by the first test automation tool, a first set of test case relevancy rules for a first test case of the first set of test cases included in the general test plan;
• and
• create, by the first test automation tool, an errata test plan based on the general test plan, wherein the errata test plan includes a second set of test cases, and wherein creating the errata test plan includes filtering at least the first test case of the first set of test cases by comparing the first set of parameters with a first rule of the first set of test case relevancy rules.
