First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing a table-driven automated scripting architecture comprising the steps of:
- (a) dividing test script information into a plurality of components, wherein each component comprises one or more words each having a commonly understood meaning;
(b) storing the components into a database;
(c) parsing one of the components into the one or more words each having a commonly understood meaning;
(d) querying the database for the one or more words, wherein for each of the words the database associates a set of one or more computer instructions which, when executed by an automation testing tool causes a computer to perform a function that is related to the commonly understood meaning of the word;
(e) retrieving the instruction set corresponding to the word from the database; and
(f) performing the function that is related to the commonly understood meaning of the word using the automated testing tool.

Abstract
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for affording a table-driven automated scripting architecture. First, test script information is divided into a plurality of components of one or more words having a commonly understood meaning. Then the components are stored into a database. Later, the components are parsed into one or more words (each having a commonly understood meaning). The database is queried for the words to retrieve a set of computer instructions that cause a computer to perform functions related to the commonly understood meaning of the words and then to perform those functions.

9. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing a table-driven automated scripting architecture comprising:
-
(a) a code segment for dividing test script information into a plurality of components, wherein each component comprises one or more words each having a commonly understood meaning;
(b) a code segment for storing the components into a database;

15. A system for providing a table-driven automated scripting architecture comprising:
-
(a) logic for dividing test script information into a plurality of components, wherein each component comprises one or more words each having a commonly understood meaning;
(b) logic for storing the components into a database;
(c) logic for parsing one of the components into the one or more words each having a commonly understood meaning;
(d) logic for querying the database for the one or more words, wherein for each of the words the database associates a set of one or more computer instructions which, when executed by an automation testing tool causes a computer to perform a function that is related to the commonly understood meaning of the word;
(e) logic for retrieving the instruction set corresponding to the word from the database; and
(f) logic for performing the function that is related to the commonly understood meaning of the word using the automated testing tool. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
