Software systems testing interface

A system comprising;

• at least one computer processor configured to:
• execute a manager module that oversees execution of a business process by a test module, the business process comprising a plurality of process steps;
• wherein the test module comprises a plurality of test cases, a plurality of software test tools, a plurality of systems under test, and a plurality of parameters;
• wherein the test module is configured to permit a user to select a particular process step of the business process, to select a particular test case for the particular process step, to select a particular software test tool for the particular test case, to select a particular system under test, and to select a particular parameter flow for the particular software test tool;
• wherein the test module is configured to execute the selected process step using the selected test case, the selected software test tool, and the selected parameter flow;
• wherein the test module is configured to handle data conversion during execution of the selected process steps such that data in a format that is compatible with a first software test tool is converted into a format that is compatible with a second software test tool;
• and
• wherein the computer processor configuration to handle data conversion from a format that is compatible with a first software test tool to a format that is compatible with a second software test tool further comprises a configuration such that an output parameter for the first software test tool serves as input to the second software test tool, thereby creating a test flow between the first software test tool and the second software test tool.

A computer readable storage device comprising instructions that when executed by a processor execute a process comprising:

• executing a manager module that oversees execution of a business process by a test module, the business process comprising a plurality of process steps, wherein the test module comprises a plurality of test cases, a plurality of software test tools, a plurality of systems under test, and a plurality of parameters;
• selecting a particular process step of the business process, selecting a particular test case for the particular process step, selecting a particular software test tool for the particular test case, selecting a particular system under test, and selecting a particular parameter flow for the particular software test tool;
• executing the selected process step using the selected let case, the selected software test tool, and the selected parameter flow;
• and
• handling data conversion during execution of the selected process steps such that data in a format that is compatible with a first software test tool is convened into a format that is compatible with a second software test tool;
• wherein the handling data conversion from a format that is compatible with a first software test tool to a format that is compatible with a second software test tool further comprises an output parameter for the first software test tool that serves as input to the second software test tool, thereby creating a test flow between the first software test tool and the second software test tool.
