ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for use in testing a computer program application, including an application having multiple versions. Information identifying a target system is obtained. Application information identifying the actual version of the application as installed on the target system is obtained. A test script is selected from multiple test script versions based on the actual version of the application. The selected test script is used to test the application as installed on the target system.
