• a user interface, the user interface to facilitate a selection of one or more test cases for use by the testing coordinator;
• a testing coordinator in communication with the repository and the user interface, the testing coordinator including a processor configured to test operation of the computerized process by coordinating testing of the two or more applications according to the test case selected from the central repository, the processor configured to:
• determine an efficient use of available testing resources based on the operation of at least the first test tool and the second test tool, any dependencies between the two or more applications, and an amount of resources available to process the first set of scripts and the second set of scripts;
• initiate testing of the first application by the first test tool using the test data set and the first set of scripts from the selected test case, wherein the first application updates the test data set with data output from the first application;
• and
• initiate testing of the second application by the second test tool using the updated test data set and the second set of scripts from the selected test case, wherein a selection of the second set of scripts is based on the data output from the first application;
• and
• wherein the first set of scripts is incompatible with the second test tool.
