ABSTRACT:
A method for analyzing a test coverage of a software application specification by a test suite is provided. The method includes reading an assertion document for a specification. The assertion document has a corresponding tagged assertion for each assertion in the specification. Each tagged assertion is defined in a markup language. The method also includes reading a static file for defining tests of the test suite. The static file is defined in the markup language. The test suite is divided into tests and each test is divided into test cases. The static file is configured to include an entry for each test case and each entry is configured to include tagged assertions tested by the test case. Also included in the method is correlating each of the tagged assertions in the assertion document with the test cases in the static file so as to determine test coverage of the specification.
