Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated discovery and analysis of test management domain assets. A method for automated discovery of test management domain assets includes crawling different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts and locating test management artifacts in the different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts. The method also includes selecting for each located test management artifact an analyzer configured to process test management artifacts of a type consistent with a type of the located test management artifact. Finally, the unified repository can be queried to produce a result based upon test management artifact data stored in the unified repository, though the test management artifact data had been located in the different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts.

Test management domain asset discovery and analysis

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and computer program product for automated discovery and analysis of test management domain assets. The system includes a host server, a unified repository of test management artifact data, a plurality of crawlers disposed in the host server. Each crawler including a configuration of program code to crawl a remotely disposed repository of test management artifacts of a particular repository type in order to locate test management artifacts. A plurality of analyzers, each analyzer including a configuration of program code to parse test management artifacts of a particular repository type located by the crawlers into test management artifact data and to store the test management artifact data in the unified repository data. The system can also include a query interface to the unified repository through which queries are applied to the test management artifact data stored within the unified repository.

A set of user-configured testing parameters for a software application under test can be received by a test execution plan generation tool. At least one testing objective for the software application can be defined by user-configurable testing parameters. A test execution plan can be automatically generated utilizing the user-configured testing parameters and a predefined test execution plan data model. The predefined test execution plan data model can include testing metadata representing software testing domain data for a software testing system being used to evaluate the software application under test. The testing metadata can specify details of finite shared resources of a test center shared by all projects under test. The generated test execution plan can detail specific allocation of the finite shared resources dedicated towards at least one phase of testing the software application to satisfy the at least one testing objective for the software application.

Automated test execution plan generation

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application graphical user interface (GUI). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application GUI can include loading a target GUI for an application under test in a functional testing tool executing in memory by a processor of a computing system, retrieving different translated source strings in a target spoken language for respectively different control elements of the target GUI and, determining a score for each one of the translated source strings. Thereafter, an alert can be provided in the functional testing tool for each translated source string corresponding to a determined score failing to meet a threshold value, such as a score that falls below a threshold value, or a score that exceeds a threshold value.

A method, computer program product, and system for receiving a natural language query. The natural language query is parsed into a plurality of base concepts. One or more base concepts chosen from the plurality of base concepts is processed to define a selected report template. The selected report template is selected from a plurality of default report templates. At least one of the base concepts chosen from the plurality of base concepts is mapped to a data field within data via a mapping dictionary. The data includes a plurality of records. A query is executed on at least a portion of the data to identify a result record set. The result record set defines at least a portion of the plurality of records.
