Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a language-independent regression test script. A language-specific regression test script comprising at least one object is received, wherein the language-specific regression test script is for use by an automated testing tool for testing an application in a first language. A translatable string of the object is identified, wherein the translatable string is represented in the first language. The translatable string is replaced with a language-independent string that can be represented in a plurality of languages, generating a language-independent regression test script that can be used for testing internationalized applications.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method for generating a language-independent regression test script, said method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, a language-specific regression test script for an application, said language-specific regression test script comprising at least one object and configured for use by an automated testing tool operable to interact with and execute the application according to said language-specific regression test script;
- identifying, by the computer system, a translatable string of said object, wherein said translatable string is represented in a first language;
- and
- replacing, by the computer system, said translatable string with a language-independent variable associated with a plurality of strings in a corresponding plurality of languages.
A computer-usable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer system to perform a method for generating a language-independent regression test script, said method comprising:
- receiving a language-specific regression test script for an application, said language-specific regression test script comprising at least one object and configured for use by an automated testing tool operable to interact with and execute the application according to said language-specific-regression test script;
- identifying a translatable string of said object, wherein said translatable string is represented in a first language;
- and
- replacing said translatable string with a language-independent variable associated with a plurality of strings in a corresponding plurality of languages.
