Abstract: A model of a test case is created which is used to formally define the vario us portions of a test case and the test script which implements the test case. In one aspect, the invention processes an existing test script to identify the components i n the test script which correspond to the portions defined in a model of a test case. These identified portions are then used to create a test script which corresponds to the structure of the test model. Additionally, embodiments of the invention enable the creation of tes t scripts, in one or more languages, from a test case which conforms to the model. As will be appreciated, the model employed could be modified or altered to provide additional advantages such as enabling extensions of the model to be created.

Abstract: The present invention provides a testing tool for testing software applications. The tool implements a method for tracking unit tests of a software application, comprising conducting the unit tests on the software application, the unit tests ordered under hierarchical groupings; and tracking the unit tests so as to capture a result of each unit test and a hierarchical position of each unit test within the groupings. The method may further comprise outputting the hierarchical position of each uni t test in association with the test result. If at least one of the unit tests is iteratively conducted multiple times, the method may further comprise, each time one of the unit tests is conducted, associating an iteration ordinal indication with a result obtaine d. The unit tests may be grouped within a test suite, which comprises a highest order grouping of the unit tests, the test suite grouping containing at least one test case, each test case comprising a sub-grouping of said test suite.
