AUTOMATED SOFTWARE TESTING
First Claim
1. A method of testing software, the method comprising:
- using one or more computer processors to perform the operations of;
receiving a command from a user to test the software using a configuration selected from a plurality of configurations, the configuration specifying a test environment and a test system, wherein the test system is any computing device capable of simulating the test environment;
receiving a test case written in accordance with one of a plurality of compatible test frameworks;
automatically generating a test harness for the test based upon the test case and the software;
hosting the generated test harness at a determined resource locator;
causing the test system to request the test harness;
receiving a request from the test system to provide the test harness, and responsive to receiving the request, providing the test harness to the test system and causing the test system to run the test in the configuration specified by the test environment;
receiving the test result from the test system; and
displaying the test result to the user.

Abstract
Disclosed in some examples are systems, machine readable mediums and methods which automate testing of web-based application code by automatically generating test harnesses based on a specified configuration and test script, hosting the test harness, causing the test harness to be run to test the code, and delivering the test results to the user. In some examples, the specified conditions may specify one or more test environments corresponding to an execution environment. This allows users greater flexibility in support of testing libraries and support of testing environments. The end users of the software under test will be provided software that is better tested for many different environments.
