Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automated and objective testing of applications or processes. Graphical representations of the application may be analyzed to derive attribute data and identify flows (e.g., possible processing paths that may be accessed during utilization of the application by a user). Test cases may be automatically generated based on the attribute data and the identified flows. Additionally, testing scripts for testing the portions of the application corresponding to each identified flow may be generated using machine learning logic. Once generated, the testing scripts may be executed against the application to test different portions of the application functionality (or processes). Execution of the testing scripts may be monitored to generate feedback used to train the machine learning logic. Reports may be generated based on the monitoring and provided to users to enable the users to resolve any errors encountered during the testing.
