ABSTRACT:
A software testing architecture can comprise a three-level framework. The three-level framework can comprise a first level (comprising a first data source), a second level (comprising a second data source), and a third level (comprising a third data source). The framework can further comprise an intermediate entity data source. The first data source can specify test pages, the second test cases for the test pages, and the third test data for the test cases. Each of the three levels can be associated with respective scripts. A method for testing multi-staged scenarios can select test pages and, for the test pages, determine and execute test cases and save intermediate entities. A method for testing multi-staged scenarios using a three-level framework can execute a first test case for a first test page, save an intermediate entity, and execute a second test case for a second test page using the saved intermediate entity.
