Also, different test execution plans may be stored in different formats
This lack of standardization prevents useful analysis of test execution plans and their content, such as identifying gaps in test coverage

[0035] Execution assignments 160 may be aggregated to generate test execution plan 155 . Test execution plan 155 may be stored in data store 145 along with its corresponding user-configured test parameters 177 . Because the test execution plan 155 is generated using a standardized process, the execution plan generation tool 140 may be further configured to perform analysis functions based on the history of the test execution plan 155 .

[0036] It should be noted that traditional methods for generating the test execution plan 155 are done manually. Therefore, conventional approaches often lack the standardization and efficiency of automated test execution plan generation tools 140 .

[0037] Network 165 may include any hardware / software / and firmware necessary to communicate data encoded within a carrier wave. Data may be contained in analog or digital signals and carried over data or voice channels. Network 165 may include local components and data channels needed to exchan...

Abstract

A test execution plan generation tool is configured to receive a set of user-configured testing parameters for a software application under test can be received by. At least one testing objective for the software application can be defined by user-configurable testing parameters. A test execution plan can be automatically generated utilizing the user-configured testing parameters and a predefined test execution plan data model. The predefined test execution plan data model can include testing metadata representing software testing domain data for a software testing system being used to evaluate the software application under test. The testing metadata can specify details of finite shared resources of a test center shared by all projects under test. The generated test execution plan can detail specific allocation of the finite shared resources dedicated towards at least one phase of testing the software application to satisfy the at least one testing objective for the software application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of software testing, and more particularly to automatic test plan generation. Background technique [0002] Software testing is a key factor in software development. A number of automated software tools exist to aid in the management and / or execution of software testing. For example, automated testing tools execute predetermined scripts that simulate software usage. Other tools focus primarily on the generation of various test process artifacts such as test cases and project timelines. [0003] However, despite the existence of these tools, traditional test execution plan creation is still a manual process. The generation of the test execution plan needs to consider many factors, and these factors are usually stored in the system outside the software testing system. For example, determining the availability of a software testing party will require consulting project management and scheduling with testing-r...
