Abstract

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for affording synchronization in an automated scripting framework. First, script data is received utilizing a language-driven interface. Then, reports having user readable sentences are created based on the received script data. The received script data is then translated into automation code. Finally, automated testing is provided utilizing the automation code.

Claims

1. A method for providing synchronization in an automated scripting framework comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving script data utilizing a language-driven interface;

(b) creating reports having user readable sentences based on the received script data;

(c) translating the received script data into automation code; and

(d) providing automated testing utilizing the automation code.

2. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the reports are created as hard copies.

3. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the received script data is translated into automation code using relational table values.

4. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the script data is divided into a plurality of components stored in a database.

5. A method as recited in claim 4, wherein the database resides on a remote server.

6. A method as recited in claim 5, wherein the remote server is accessed utilizing a network.

7. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing synchronization in an automated scripting framework comprising:

(a) a code segment for receiving script data utilizing a language-driven interface;

(b) a code segment for creating reports having user readable sentences based on the received script data;

(c) a code segment for translating the received script data into automation code; and

(d) a code segment for providing automated testing utilizing the automation code.

8. A computer program as recited in claim 7, wherein the reports are created as hard copies.

9. A computer program as recited in claim 7, wherein the received script data is translated into automation code using relational table values.

10. A computer program as recited in claim 7, wherein the script data is divided into a plurality of components stored in a database.

11. A computer program as recited in claim 10, wherein the database resides on a remote server.

12. A computer program as recited in claim 11, wherein the remote server is accessed utilizing a network.

13. A system for providing synchronization in an automated scripting framework comprising:

(a) logic for receiving script data utilizing a language-driven interface;

(b) logic for creating reports having user readable sentences based on the received script data;

(c) logic for translating the received script data into automation code; and

(d) logic for providing automated testing utilizing the automation code.

14. A system as recited in claim 13, wherein the reports are created as hard copies.

15. A system as recited in claim 13, wherein the received script data is translated into automation code using relational table values.

16. A system as recited in claim 13, wherein the script data is divided into a plurality of components stored in a database.

17. A system as recited in claim 16, wherein the database resides on a remote server.

18. A system as recited in claim 17, wherein the remote server is accessed utilizing a network.
