System and method to in-line script dependencies

A computer based system to in-line script dependencies, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a test resource extractor configured to extract test resources addressed in language defining a test web page;
• a marker module configured to maintain markers identifying a location of each test resource within the language defining the test page;
• a resource loader and analyzer configured to:
• iteratively load external resources associated with a path of each test resource;
• analyze each test resource to identify one or more dynamically added dependencies based on any corresponding resource requirement calls in the test resource referencing the one or more dynamically added dependencies, each dynamically added dependency comprising a script or file;
• add each identified dependency after or before a top level parent resource;
• and
• provide each new dependency with a reference to a parent marker associated with the top level parent resource;
• and
• an in-lining module configured to replace each marker with resources and dependencies that reference their respective marker to generate updated language defining an updated test page, wherein the test resource extractor, the marker module, the resource loader and analyzer and the in-lining module are implemented on the one or more processors.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• extracting test resources addressed in language defining a test web page;
• placing markers identifying a location of each extracted test resource within the language defining the test page;
• iteratively loading external resources associated with a path of each test resource;
• analyzing each test resource to identify one or more dynamically added dependencies based on any corresponding resource requirement calls in the test resource referencing the one or more dynamically added dependencies, each dynamically added dependency comprising a script or file;
• adding each identified dependency after or before a top level parent resource;
• performing the analyzing and the adding until no new dependencies are identified;
• providing each new dependency with a reference to a parent marker associated with the top level parent resource;
• and
• replacing each marker with external resources and dependencies that reference their respective marker to generate updated language defining an updated test page.
