Abstract: Various embodiments are describe techniques, methods, and system disclosing accelerated test automation that is invoking a first script representing a first test case of an application under test, in response to a set of input data. From the first script, a plurality of generalized script elements are invoked, where each generalized script element tests a specific functionality of the application under test. A second script, representing a second test case is executed, and at least some of the plurality of generalized script elements that were invoked by the first script are invoked by the second script. Thereafter, it is determined whether the first and second test cases have passed or failed the software testing based on execution of the first and second scripts.

Abstract: Techniques for testing heterogeneous software components are described herein. In response to a test procedure, a main test framework (MTF) identifies one or more test cases associated the sequence of testing operations. The MTF delegates at least one testing operation to a first subordinated test framework (STF) by invoking an MTF-to-STF (MTF/STF) adaptor, where the first STF corresponds to a test operation of a specific functionality. The MTF/STF adaptor launches the first STF by passing a first set of parameters received from the MTF to a first format compatible with the first STF, where the first STF is configured to perform a first sequence of testing operations for a first functionality. In response to a first test result from the first STF, the MTF/STF adaptor converts the first test result in second format compatible with the MTF and returns the converted first test result back to the MTF.

Abstract: A method and system for test automation framework for backup and recovery applications is described. Initial data states are prepared for corresponding system components for a test host. A backup and recovery application is executed to store backup copies corresponding to the system components to a storage device. The initial data states are modified to modified data states corresponding to the system components. The backup and recovery application is executed to recover the backup copies from the storage device. The test host is rebooted based on recovering the backup copies. A comparison is output, via an output device, of the system components in the test host to the initial data states.
