Transition testing model for heterogeneous client environments

A computer-implemented method for transition-based testing, comprising:

• receiving, by a computer system, a specification of a test of a computer system state transition including a plurality of test elements, the plurality of test elements including a set of actions to be performed to cause the computer system state transition and a set of conditions to be evaluated with respect to the computer system state transition;
• mapping, by the computer system, the plurality of test elements to a set of pre-assembled executable components;
• injecting the set of pre-assembled executable components into an execution environment, wherein individual executable components comprise statements of a scripting language suited to execution in the execution environment;
• receiving a test result based at least in part on output of the set of pre-assembled executable components;
• and
• providing the test result for presentation.

A computerized system for transition-based testing, comprising:

• one or more data storage devices configured to store, at least:
• a representation of a test of a computer system state transition including a plurality of test elements;
• and
• a set of pre-assembled executable components suited to implementing tests of computer system state transitions;
• a transition-based testing component configured to, at least:
• determine a subset of the set of pre-assembled executable components capable of implementing at least the test of the computer system state transition at least in part by mapping individual test elements of the plurality of test elements to one or more executable components of the set of pre-assembled executable components;
• and
• implement the test of the computer system state transition at least in part with the determined subset of pre-assembled executable components, the implementation of the test of the computer system state transition comprising injecting the determined subset of pre-assembled executable components into an execution environment, wherein individual executable components comprise statements of a scripting language suited to execution in the execution environment;
• and
• one or more computer processors communicatively coupled with the one or more data storage devices and configured to facilitate at least the transition-based testing component.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable data storage devices storing computer-executable instructions that configure one or more computers to, at least:

• receive a specification of a test of a state transition of a client, the specification including a set of conditions to be evaluated with respect to the state transition;
• determine a set of pre-assembled executable components to implement at least the test of the state transition of the client in an execution environment, the set of pre-assembled executable components including individual executable components configured at least to determine a set of client events to intercept based at least in part on event information associated with individual client events and items of information suited to facilitating evaluation of the set of conditions and to intercept individual client events of the determined set of client events, the individual executable components comprising statements of a scripting language suited to execution in the execution environment;
• receive a test result based at least in part on output of the determined set of pre-assembled executable components;
• and
• provide the test result for presentation.
