ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for testing execution of applets with plug-ins and applications is described. In one embodiment, a data structure that specifies at least two applets of a plurality of applets is accessed. Based on the data structure that specifies the two applets, a plug-in that executes with an application is caused to attempt to execute each of the two applets. After causing the plug-in to attempt to execute the two applets, results are generated based on the attempt to execute each of the two applets. The mechanism may be implemented to test multiple test suites that each comprise one or more test cases that each include an applet, and reports may be generated for individual test cases, test suites, or a set of test suites. This embodiment of the present invention minimizes the time required for testing and allows for testing the effects of applets that are not visible to a user.
