Automated web testing framework for generating and maintaining test scripts

摘要

Methods for generating and maintaining test scripts for automated web testing are provided. A method for generating test scripts includes: receiving a series of steps defining a procedure; linking keywords in the series of steps with functional objects; dynamically arranging the functional objects according to the series of steps; generating the test scripts from the arranged functional objects; and sending the test scripts to a testing manager. A method for maintaining test scripts includes: determining a change in steps of metadata; identifying a position within a test script affected by the change in steps; updating row(s) within the test script based on the change in steps; and providing the test script to the testing manager. Embodiments of the disclosure enable a codeless automated web-testing framework based on a non-recording approach, which avoids manual coding or recording of test scripts, thereby accelerating website system testing and reducing associated time and costs.
