US Patent:

7373636, May 13, 2008

Filed:

May 8, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/431798

Inventors:

Margaret Moya Barry - Chicago IL, US
John Charles McEvoy - Algonquin IL, US
Matthew Phillip Stewart - Villa Park IL, US
Christine Ann Bowman - Crown Point IN, US

Assignee:

Accenture Global Services GmbH - Schaffhausen

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717124, 717120, 717126

Abstract:

A system and method for testing an application includes modules capable of reading data from one or more data tables and providing the data as input to the application. The input data is correlated by test case, so that each module may provide different input data for each test case. The system also includes a controller that executes the modules. The controller is capable of determining an execution order for the modules by reading a flow table. The flow table correlates each test case with one or more modules, and further correlates each module within the test case with an execution order. The system may read results that the application generates in response to the input data, and correlate the results with the test case and module in a results table. The results table may also contain expected results, and the system may compare the actual results with the expected results to determine whether the application is functioning properly.
