Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable fast business process test case composition. Instead of the labor intensive and error-prone manual test case composition of previous systems, a group of one or more test agents enables creation of a business process test based on monitoring a business process application. The test agents monitor a backend interface of the business process application that interfaces the application with a backend enterprise system. The test agents generate business process test components and an ordering for the business process test components based on the monitoring. From the test components and the monitoring, the test agents create a business process test. The entire creation process can be performed with little to no user interaction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable comparing a current system configuration of a test system with a previous system configuration to determine whether differences exist between the two configurations and information about the technical objects used when performing a business transaction. The comparison can be performed via configuration metadata available for both the current and previous system configurations. A comparison result is generated to indicate any differences between the two system configurations. In one embodiment, the comparison result is used to identify a parameter of a test component that is affected by the differences in system configuration. Based on the differences in system configuration, the affected parameter is adapted by a test manager. A test case is updated based on the adapted test component responsive to the detected difference. Thus, the test system can be dynamic and adaptive.
