ABSTRACT:
A system and method for verifying the systemic results of an action applied to an application and for providing the expected state of the application at any time or on demand, in which a verification manager determines an expected application state and a current application state of the application, a test case in communication with the verification manager executes the action, and the verification manager compares the expected application state and the current application state.
