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 test execution, the method comprising:
- identifying a test;
determining whether the test has at least one prerequisite, utilizing an expression associated with the test, wherein the prerequisite includes an operation required to be performed prior to execution of the test, and wherein the expression stores the at least one prerequisite; and
scheduling execution of the test based on the determination,wherein execution of the test is scheduled for a beginning of a test run executing a batch of tests, in response to a determination that the test does not have the at least one prerequisite, andwherein execution of the test is scheduled upon completion of the at least one prerequisite, in response to a determination that the test has the at least one prerequisite.
