ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses enable comparing a current system configuration of a test system with a previous system configuration to determine whether differences exist between the two configurations and information about the technical objects used when performing a business transaction. The comparison can be performed via configuration metadata available for both the current and previous system configurations. A comparison result is generated to indicate any differences between the two system configurations. In one embodiment, the comparison result is used to identify a parameter of a test component that is affected by the differences in system configuration. Based on the differences in system configuration, the affected parameter is adapted by a test manager. A test case is updated based on the adapted test component responsive to the detected difference. Thus, the test system can be dynamic and adaptive.
