Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for modularizing testing of a software product. The method comprises receiving user input indicating a source and a destination of test content; and linking modification of the test content at the destination to modification of the test content at the source. In further related embodiments, receiving the user input may comprise receiving input of a copy/paste gesture for the test content, or a drag/drop gesture for the test content. The linking may comprise using a globally unique identifier to identify each test step of a test document; and using the globally unique identifier as a pointer from the destination to the source of the test content. The method may also comprise rendering the test content to the user as if the test content was in-line at the destination.

22. A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for modularizing testing of a software product, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
receiving user input indicating a source and a destination of test content; and
linking modification of the test content at the destination to modification of the test content at the source.

23. A computer program propagated signal product embodied on a propagated signal on a propagation medium, such propagated signal carrying one or more sequences of instructions for modularizing testing of a software product, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
receiving user input indicating a source and a destination of test content; and
linking modification of the test content at the destination to modification of the test content at the source.

24. A software test apparatus comprising:
-
a user interface enabling (i) user selection of test content and (ii) user indication of a source and destination of the selected test content; and
a reference link between the destination and source of the selected test content, the user interface enabling re-use of test content by user selection of the test content for plural destinations, for each destination there being a respective reference link, such that testing of a software design is modularized.
