Architecture for state driven testing

A system comprising:

• a memory configured to store application states, test objects and test methods and their relationships;
• and
• a verification module that is configured to check the integrity of a modification to the test script, the integrity being determined by the relationship between the test methods, the test objects and the application states;
• and
• a script generator module configured to generate a test scripts.

A system comprising:

• a memory configured to store application states, a state stack, test objects and test methods, wherein the application state includes a first set of test objects, the test methods can be associated with one or more state transitions, and each test method is associated with one test object;
• a state machine module configured to modify an application state stack in response to a selection of a test method;
• a verification module that is configured to check the integrity of a modification to the test script, the integrity being determined by the relationship between the test methods, the test objects and the application states;
• and
• a script generator module configured to generate a test scripts.
