Abstract: The Functional Tester Plug-in (FTP) extracts information from a data base to enhance automated testing tools to accommodate changes to the computer environment and so that a simulation can be fully executed even if an exception occurs. The FTP accesses the test script and static data store created by a developer using the automated testing tool, wherein the test script and static data store indicate a first resource to be tested at a verification point and a first expected result. The FTP identifies the first resource used by the test script at a first verification point and accesses the data base. The FTP identifies the status and configuration of the first resource in the data base. The FTP calculates an optimal expected result based on any changes in the status and configuration of the first resource.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program and method for modifying functionality of a computer program. In one embodiment, configuration files include configuration directives for removing and replacing computer executable codes. The configuration directives include code identifiers pointing to the computer executable codes for execution by the computer program. A lookup module is configured to recursively search for configuration files within plug-in packages. A control module is configured to modify the program flow of the computer program in accordance with the configuration directives.
