ABSTRACT:
An automated software testing system allows automated test script generation, execution, and result correlation in a recreatable and adaptable manner. A software Application Under Test (AUT) is identified and includes a process having a sequence of Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows. A test thread tree is generated corresponding to the windows in the process. A grid is generated to enumerate test cases indicative of the windows and data objects in the thread. Also generated is a script indicative of each of the test cases. The script is executed to apply each of the test cases to the AUT and receive a response for each test case from the AUT. A report of expected responses is generated, and compared to the actual responses to provide a test result indicative of the status for each test case in question.
