Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to host platform configuration for software testing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for multi-platform test automation. In an embodiment of the invention, a multi-platform test automation data processing system can include a test automation controller enabled for coupling to multiple, different designated host computing platforms. Each of the different designated host computing platforms can host the execution of an application under test. The test automation controller can include a configuration for dispatching test commands to the different designated host computing platforms based upon provided test case documents, topology data and a general function file. In this way, tests can be constructed from a set of test commands without regard to the underlying details of different, target host computing platforms.
A multi-platform test automation data processing system comprising a test automation controller enabled for coupling to a plurality of different designated host computing platforms, each of said different designated host computing platforms hosting the execution of an application under test, said test automation controller comprising a configuration for dispatching test commands to said different designated host computing platforms based upon provided test case documents, at least one topology document and a general function file topology document specifying a set of software paths, configuration parameters and log paths for one or more specific machine platform types.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium comprising a memory device having computer usable program code for multi-platform test automation, said computer program product including:
