ABSTRACT:
A method for testing a software program creates test data by simulating data exchange messages between a server and a client and stores test data in Comma Separated Value (CSV) files. Data repository files stored in the CSV format can be edited by common tools, like a spreadsheet program, and can be maintained easily. The test automation method provides a data capturer tool so that the data repository could be created based on any existing test environment. The test automation method converts data repository files and simulates messages in order to load data to a mobile infrastructure system and set up data fixtures. The test automation method could be integrated in a build process so that data repository and test cases are validated against any program changes periodically.
