Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a language-independent regression test script. A language-specific regression test script comprising at least one object is received, wherein the language-specific regression test script is for use by an automated testing tool for testing an application in a first language. A translatable string of the object is identified, wherein the translatable string is represented in the first language. The translatable string is replaced with a language-independent string that can be represented in a plurality of languages, generating a language-independent regression test script that can be used for testing internationalized applications.

Abstract: A method of converting a regression test script of an automated testing tool into a function. The regression test script is received, wherein the regression test script comprises at least one object. A physical description of object is inserted into the regression test script. The regression test script is compiled to generate the function.

Abstract: A method for enhancing functionality of an automated testing tool. Embodiments of the present invention provide for dynamically adjusting a date in an automated testing tool. System time in a system time format is adjusted according to a date offset. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of formatting a date in an automated testing tool. System time in a system time format is accessed, wherein the system time comprises a current date and a current time. The date is formatted according to a predetermined date format. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of regulating access to variables of an automated testing tool. An electronic document of the automated testing tool is populated with at least one variable and at least one value corresponding to the variable. In response to a request to access the variable, access to the variable and the value is provided.
