Method and apparatus for generating test scripts

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to perform the operations of:
• receiving a first test case identifying a plurality of test case steps;
• generating a plurality of first signatures, each of the plurality of first signatures being generated based on a different one of the plurality of test case steps;
• generating a plurality of second signatures, each of the plurality of second signatures corresponding to a different one of a plurality of testing functions, each of the plurality of second signatures being generated based on a respective label that is associated with the testing function that corresponds to the second signature;
• processing any given one of the plurality of test case steps, wherein the processing includes:
• (i) identifying a matching score that corresponds to the given test case step, the matching score being indicative of a degree of similarity between one of the plurality of first signatures that corresponds to the given test case step and a respective one of the plurality of second signatures, (ii) detecting whether the matching score satisfies a predetermined condition, and (iii) inserting a respective one of the plurality of testing functions that corresponds to the respective second signature into a first automated test script, the respective testing function being inserted only when the predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• outputting the first automated test script.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the operations of:

• receiving a first test case identifying a plurality of test case steps;
• generating a plurality of first signatures, each of the plurality of first signatures being generated based on a different one of the plurality of test case steps;
• generating a plurality of second signatures, each of the plurality of second signatures corresponding to a different one of a plurality of testing functions, each of the plurality of second signatures being generated based on a respective label that is associated with the testing function that corresponds to the second signature;
• processing any given one of the plurality of test case steps, wherein the processing includes:
• (i) identifying a matching score that corresponds to the given test case step, the matching score being indicative of a degree of similarity between one of the plurality of first signatures that corresponds to the given test case step and a respective one of the plurality of second signatures, (ii) detecting whether the matching score satisfies a predetermined condition, and (iii) inserting a respective one of the plurality of testing functions that corresponds to the respective second signature into a first automated test script, the respective testing function being inserted only when the predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• outputting the first automated test script.
