SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING TESTING FUNCTIONALITIES
First Claim
1. A method for managing testing functionalities, the method including the steps of:
- a. receiving data indicative of a user-created test script, wherein the user-created test script is created for execution by a test tool;
b. processing the received data thereby to define data indicative of an unbound test script;
c. providing a user interface for allowing a user to associate the unbound test script with one or more data sets selected from a repository of stored data sets;
d. responsive to a user command, defining data indicative of a new data-bound test script based on the association of the unbound test script with the selected one or more data sets; and
e. providing instructions for causing the test tool to execute the new data-bound test script.

Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for managing testing functionalities. One such method includes receiving, from a test tool, data indicative of a user-created test script, being a data-bound test script in the present example. The data-bound test script is created for testing a target application, and is bound to a predetermined data set. This received data is then processed, thereby to define data indicative of an unbound test script. A user interface is provided for allowing a user to associate the unbound test script with one or more data sets selected from a repository of stored data sets. Responsive to a user command, data indicative of a new data-bound test scripts is defined based on the association of the unbound test script with the selected one or more data sets. This new defined data-bound test script is executable via the test tool. For example, instructions are provided to the test tool such that those scripts are executed for the testing of the target application. In some cases, multiple unbound test scripts are effectively bolted together to create more complex scenarios for testing.

13. A system for managing testing functionalities, the system including:
-
a. an interface for receiving data indicative of a user-created test script, wherein the user-created test script is created for execution by a test tool; b. a component for processing the received data thereby to define data indicative of an unbound test script; c. a database for storing the data indicative of the unbound test script; d. user interface components for allowing a user to associate the unbound test script with one or more data sets selected from a repository of stored data sets; e. a component that is responsive to a user command for defining data indicative of a new data-bound test script based on the association of the unbound test script with the selected one or more data sets; and f. an interface configured to provide instructions for causing the test tool to execute the new data-bound test script. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
