System, method and computer program product for providing automated testing by utilizing a preconfigured point of entry in a test or by converting a test to a predefined format
First Claim
1. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for automated testing which utilizes a preconfigured point of entry in a test, the method comprising:
- identifying a test template specific to a scenario having a sequence of steps, where the test template includes;
a plurality of functions, where each of the plurality of functions simulates one of the sequence of steps in the scenario, andone or more preconfigured points of entry, where each preconfigured point of entry in the test template includes an empty function that is associated with at least one of the functions each simulating one of the sequence of steps in the scenario, for enabling testing of the associated at least one of the functions;
identifying, within the test template, one of the preconfigured points of entry; and
customizing the test template by inserting testing code into the empty function of the identified preconfigured point of entry, the testing code for use in automatically testing the at least one of the functions associated with the identified preconfigured point of entry.

Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for automated testing which utilizes a preconfigured point of entry in a test or which includes a test converted to a predetermined format. These mechanisms and methods for automated testing which utilizes a preconfigured point of entry in a test or which includes a test converted to a predetermined format can provide testing in an automated manner where the testing is otherwise typically performed manually. The ability to provide this automated testing can increase the efficiency of testing code.
