ABSTRACT:
A testing system and method for defining testing scenarios for a multi-user computer system having a plurality of workstations, and for driving and tracking the execution of the testing scenarios in a predefined order at the workstations is disclosed. The system and method revolve around the concept of a "script". Each script or script set is intended to reflect one business scenario. Each script contains instructions, data, and routing information used to execute the testing scenario on the workstations of the multi-user computer system. The testing system includes a maintenance and creation means for creating and modifying scripts; a tracking administration means for grouping selected scripts to form the test, for initiating a test run, for monitoring routing of the scripts from workstation to workstation, for selectively controlling routing of the scripts from workstation to workstation in an error situation, and for automatically generating statistical reports detailing the performance of the test; and a tracking means for routing the selected scripts to selected workstations according to the routing information.
