1. A computer-implemented method for generating reusable test components to test software applications including executing instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media using at least one processor, the method comprising:

  • accessing an object model relating to at least part of a software application; and

    generating at least one test component applicable to test the software application, comprising;

    analyzing the object model including retrieving at least two method signatures,generating a meta-description from the object model and storing the meta description in at least one descriptor according to a meta model, wherein the descriptor includes one or more input parameters,generating the test component and a corresponding component implementation based on the descriptor including combining two of the at least two method signatures in the test component, wherein;

    the test component defines a facade to the corresponding component implementation and the test component uses one or more of the input parameters to find a child object of an object targeted by the test component, andthe component implementation is stored in at least one shared library, andgenerating a test scenario for the software application by composing generated test components, wherein the test components are reusable for use in different test scenarios.
