ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for evaluating the testing of a computer program wherein a test automator generates code to test the computer program with respect to predetermined testing criteria. A test results analyst reviews test results generated by applying the code to test the computer program. The environments of a test automator and a test analyst are separated, thereby relieving a test results analyst from being required to have knowledge of the code that was used to test the computer program.
