System and method for creating universal test script for testing variants of software application

A test automation computing device comprising:

• a memory comprising programmed instructions stored in the memory;
• and one or more physical processors executing the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive one or more test cases written in a high level language from a data structure into the test automation computing device;
• identify one or more keyword functions, and one or more test parameters for one or more of the keyword functions, based on the one or more test cases and one or more sequences corresponding to a sequence of steps in the one or more test cases by parsing the received one or more test cases based on one or more standard action words in the received one or more test cases;
• segregate the one or more test cases into one or more test actions corresponding to the one or more keyword functions, one or more test objects, and the one or more test parameters;
• generate a universal test script based on the one or more keyword functions comprising the one or more test parameters and the one or more sequences, wherein the universal test script facilitates testing of a plurality of variants of a baseline software application, wherein the one or more test parameters facilitate identification of corresponding test data specific to the variant of software application used during execution of the universal test script;
• execute the generated universal test script on an automation tool;
• and
• bind, at runtime, the one or more test objects and the test data to the generated universal test script based on the one or more test parameters, wherein the one or more test parameters each comprise one or more values corresponding to one or more inputs to the one or more keyword functions and one or more of the test objects or a portion of the test data specific to the variant of the software application.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for creating a universal test script comprising machine executable code which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving one or more test cases written in a high level language from a data structure in a test automation computing device;
• identifying one or more keyword functions, and one or more test parameters for one or more of the keyword functions, based on the one or more test cases and one or more sequences corresponding to a sequence of steps in the one or more test cases by parsing the received one or more test cases based on one or more standard action words in the received one or more test cases;
• segregating the one or more test cases into one or more test actions corresponding to the one or more keyword functions, one or more test objects, and one or more test parameters;
• generating a universal test script based on the one or more keyword functions comprising the one or more test parameters and the one or more sequences, wherein the universal test script facilitates testing of a plurality of variants of a baseline software application, wherein the one or more test parameters facilitate identification of corresponding test data specific to the variant of software application used during execution of the universal test script;
• executing the generated universal test script on an automation tool;
• and
• binding, at runtime, the one or more test objects and the test data to the generated universal test script based on the one or more test parameters, wherein the one or more test parameters each comprise one or more values corresponding to one or more inputs to the one or more keyword functions and one or more of the test objects or a portion of the test data specific to the variant of the software application.
