Abstract
A method and system for testing a software product is provided. Specifically, a type template, an output template, and a table of test data pertaining to the software product are provided. The test data is processed by a test generation system based upon the type template and the output template to automatically generate a test script file having at least one test case. The test script file is then used to test the software product.
