ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for constructing integrated computer testing and task management applications provide a computer user access to multiple testing and task management tools, all through a single, uniform interface. According to exemplary embodiments, an integrated testing application controls known test tools through a well defined communications interface, either locally on a single machine or in a distributed fashion across multiple networked machines. Advantageously, such an integrated testing application provides a scalable, tool independent testing framework and thereby enables an organization to readily create sophisticated testing solutions using a heterogeneous mix of available testing and task management tools. Using the methods and apparatus of the invention, organizations can combine, schedule, regress, and report tests and other tasks with a degree of flexibility not previously possible using conventional techniques.
