Abstract

A framework for end-to-end scenario-level automated testing of a multi-technology application. Execution of end-to-end automated testing of a multi-technology application is triggered from a single platform on a local client machine, The end-to-end automated test comprises a plurality of tests each developed from a different testing tool. Test result data is received from the execution of the tests. Test result data is passed from the execution of one of the tests to a different test for use in the execution of the different test. A log of results is generated for the end-to-end automated testing of the multi-technology application based on the received test result data from the execution of the plurality of tests. In some embodiments, execution of a test on a back-end system is triggered from the single platform on the local client machine. In some embodiments, the back-end system is an ABAP back-end system.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

triggering, from a single platform on a local client machine, execution of a first test of a plurality of tests, each of the plurality of tests associated with a different testing tool, the execution of the plurality of tests together comprising an end-to-end automated testing of a multi-technology application;

receiving test result data from the execution of the first test;

triggering, from the single platform on the local client machine, execution of a second test of the plurality of tests;

passing test result data from the first test to the second test for use in the execution of the second test; and

generating a log of results for the end-to-end automated testing of the multi-technology application based on the end-to-end automated testing.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, from the local client machine, a testing tool from which to develop one of the plurality of tests.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating, from the local client machine, test logic for use in execution of at least one of the plurality of tests.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on the local client machine.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on a remote client machine.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising triggering, from the single platform on the local client machine, execution of a test on a back-end system.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the back-end system is an ABAP back-end system.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein triggering the execution of first test comprises:

a driver on the client machine sending a test request to an adapter on the client machine, the test request corresponding to the first test;

the adapter determining a testing tool plug-in that corresponds to the first test; and

the adapter invoking the testing tool plug-in for use in the execution of the first test.

9. A system comprising:

a client machine having at least one processor; and

a framework operable on the client machine and configured to;

trigger, from a single platform on a local client machine, execution of a first test of a plurality of tests, each of the plurality of tests associated with a different testing tool, the execution of the plurality of tests together comprising an end-to-end automated testing of a multi-technology application;

receive test result data from the execution of the first test;

trigger, from the single platform on the local client machine, execution of a second test of the plurality of tests;

pass test result data from the first test to the second test for use in the execution of the second test; and

generate a log of results for the end-to-end automated testing of the multi-technology application based on the end-to-end automated testing.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the framework is further configured to determine a testing tool from which to develop one of the plurality of tests.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the framework is further configured to creating test logic for use in execution of at least one of the plurality of tests.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on the local client machine.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on a remote client machine.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the framework is further configured to trigger execution of a test on a back-end system.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the back-end system is an ABAP back-end system.

16. The system of claim 9, further comprising a driver on the client machine configured to send a test request to an adapter on the client machine, the test request corresponding to the first test, wherein the adapter is configured to determine a testing tool plug-in that corresponds to the first test, and to invoke the testing tool plug-in for use in the execution of the first test.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable storage device, tangibly embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

triggering, from a single platform on a local client machine, execution of a first test of a plurality of tests, each of the plurality of tests associated with a different testing tool, the execution of the plurality of tests together comprising an end-to-end automated testing of a multi-technology application;

receiving test result data from the execution of the first test;

triggering, from the single platform on the local client machine, execution of a second test of the plurality of tests;

passing test result data from the first test to the second test for use in the execution of the second test; and

generating a log of results for the end-to-end automated testing of the multi-technology application based on the end-to-end automated testing.

18. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise determining, from the local client machine, a testing tool from which to develop one of the plurality of tests.

19. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise creating, from the local client machine, test logic for use in execution of at least one of the plurality of tests.

20. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on the local client machine.

21. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the execution of the plurality of tests is performed on a remote client machine.

22. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise triggering, from the single platform on the local client machine, execution of a test on a back-end system.

23. The machine-readable storage device of claim 17, wherein triggering the execution of the first test comprises:

a driver on the client machine sending a test request to an adapter on the client machine, the test request corresponding to the first test;

the adapter determining a testing tool plug-in that corresponds to the first test; and

the adapter invoking the testing tool plug-in for use in the execution of the first test.
