  • Developing software components and capability testing procedures for testing coded software component
    Patent number: 8561024
    Abstract: Capability test programs are generated implementing the capability test test cases for the components, wherein component developers use the capability test programs to test components during the development and coding of the components. Documentation is generated describing component abstract test cases incorporating information on capability test test cases. Component test programs are generated implementing the component abstract test cases for the components and utilizing capability test programs, wherein each component test program tests one component for at least one test case specified in the component abstract test case documentation for the component. The capability test programs and component test programs are stored in a shared repository. A software development program is deployed to enable the developers and testers to execute groups of component test programs in the shared repository to test the components during different phases of the development of the software product.
