  • System and method for model based generation of application programming interface test code
    Patent number: 7493597
    Abstract: Systems and methods for model based generation of API test code are disclosed. A number of interfaces are employed to enable flexible and extensible visual representations of test parameter input data. One such interface may enable diagramming of a test model that depicts sequencing dependencies among a set of API's to be tested. The test model may be sliced into test cases in accordance with the sequencing dependencies and, for each test case, a linear sequence of API test code may be generated.
