ABSTRACT:
A method and system in a computer system for generating an application-specific test script file. The application-specific test script file contains test instructions for testing an application program. The system receives a test template file that has test instructions that contain placeholders. The placeholders indicate where application-specific placeholder values are to be logically inserted into the test template file. The system receives an ordered list of customizing files that have application-specific placeholder values. The system then searches the customizing files according to the ordered list for a first placeholder value for each placeholder of the test instruction. When such a placeholder value is found, the system replaces the placeholder with the placeholder value in the test instruction and stores the test instruction into the application-specific test script file.
