ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for generating and managing test documentation for a software product may include steps of generating a test template; generating at least one test scenario for each of a plurality of functional areas, each test scenario being configured to test a business flow that mimics how an end user would use the software product; associating the generated test scenario(s) with the generated test template; generating at least one test case that includes a plurality of test steps; associating the generated test case(s) with the generated test template; copying the test template to generate test results, the generated test results being independent of the generated test template, and carrying out a test cycle by executing the test scenario(s) and the test case(s) associated with the generated test results of the generated test template and storing the results of the executed test scenario(s) and the executed test case(s) in a database.
