ABSTRACT:
In a method for assigning test numbers, current testflow context information is maintained during execution of a testflow. The information is maintained as an array of one or more context values. Upon execution of a subtest in the testflow, a map of linked data nodes is indexed using a key formed from 1) a numeric identifier of the subtest, and 2) the array of context values. If a data node corresponding to the key exists in the map and is associated with a test number, the data node's test number is assigned to a result of the subtest; else, a new test number is assigned to the result of the subtest, and the new test number is associated with a data node that is linked in the map. A test number database, and a test number engine for satisfying calls for test numbers, are also disclosed.
