Abstract: System and method for automated testing of computer software, especially for business process (enterprise) computer software applications. The present system generates scripts for testing software in an automated manner. Business process testing scripts, for instance for functional automated software testing, are thereby converted by an adapter to other types of testing scripts, for instance for testing performance or security or application monitoring.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated testing of business process application configurations. A test library contains test elements, which are building blocks that codify all possible interactions with business processes in business process application configuration. The elements interact with the business process application's user interface. A business process test can be defined in a test development environment by adding data input elements to the test to test specific business processes. The flow of execution in a business process test can be defined by adding control elements to the test. The control elements interact with the application's user interface submit or cancel business process operations. The business process test can be executed as a test script to perform automated testing. The tests can continue to function properly when the application or its user interface changes, because the elements are independent of most details of the user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating business process test elements for automated testing of business process application configurations. A business process application executes business processes, which are typically automated operations involving users and information systems, and are typically specific to a type of business. A business process test is a set of instructions for invoking a business process. The test invokes one or more test elements, which are building blocks that codify interactions with business processes. Each element includes a description of the input data accepted by an associated transaction or screen of the business process. The element can receive input from a user or simulated user via an input interface of the application, and can invoke the associated business process with the input. The element is generated based upon metadata information retrieved from the business process application.
