Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to software test automation and provide a method, system and apparatus for a reusable software testing framework. In one embodiment of the invention, an automated application test data processing system can include a reusable test automation framework. The system further can include a test task generator and a scenario generator coupled to one another and to the framework. In this regard, the test task generator can be configured to generate uniform logic for performing testing tasks, while the scenario generator can be configured to arrange testing tasks for a complete test scenario.

Abstract: Atomic testing of a multiplicity of scenarios includes generating a listing of interacting scenarios which are likely to cause a failure, and testing ones of the scenarios not included in the listing according to a binary search strategy to identify a subset of the scenarios as a source of failure among the scenarios. Additionally, the listing can be updated with newly identified interacting scenarios which are likely to cause a failure.
