1. A method for handling parameters in a test script, comprising:
- executing a test script for testing a function of a computer program, the test script including a command invoking the function, the command having arguments, the command arguments in the test script including a set of test input parameters for the function;
determining the required input parameters for the function; and
detecting an error if there is a mismatch between the required input parameters and the test input parameters.

9. A method for executing test scripts, comprising:
-
receiving a set of test records defining variant parameter values for test parameters;
receiving a first and a second test script for testing a function of a computer program, the test scripts having distinct first and second sets of import parameters, respectively;
executing the first and second test scripts against first and second versions of the computer program, respectively, using the same set of test records to provide import parameter values. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, for storing instructions for handling parameters in a test script, the computer program product being operable to cause data processing apparatus to:
-
execute a test script for testing a function of a computer program, the test script including a command invoking the function, the command having arguments, the command arguments in the test script including a set of test input parameters for the function;
determine the required input parameters for the function; and
detect an error if there is a mismatch between the required input parameters and the test input parameters. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
