ABSTRACT:
A system and method for using Extensible Markup Language (XML) as a scripting language to drive testing of a software program. XML is used to define a markup language in a script that provides commands that are interpreted by a test control processor. The test control processor includes an XML processor for processing the script. Using the script, the test control processor submits instructions to a software program and extracts the behavior of the software program. The software program behavior is tested by submitting multiple sets of instructions and comparing the results. Information regarding the software program behavior and test results is written to an output log file by the test control processor.
