ABSTRACT:
A method and computer product for facilitating regression testing during the development and other life cycle phases of a software application comprised of transactions. A regression test is comprised of test cases containing test data describing the target test at a functional or behavioral level. A test operator may perform a manual test and simultaneously record the test. The architecture of the invention monitors the physical activity of the test operator and thereafter transforms the physical event steps into functional or behavioral test data. The test data is in a robust functional description of the transaction such that physical modifications to the transaction during software development preserve the viability of the test data for execution in the modified transaction. A test report may also be generated in response to the execution of a regression test. The test report lists both the test data executed and the response thereto. A test report may be compared with baseline or control test report to verify the lack of regression of the transaction. A difference report may also be generated from the comparison of test reports.
