Abstract
An automated and flexible architecture is provided that enables a plurality of component tests to be executed in various testing orders while imposing a test framework to mitigate adverse effects or results on previously developed tests. In one aspect, a computerized test system is provided. The system includes a test engine to execute a plurality of component tests. One or more application programming interfaces (API) are provided to selectively determine at a subset of the tests to execute, an execution order of the tests, or a fault response for the tests, if desired. The API determines a phase execution for the tests, where the phase execution can include a set up phase, an execution phase, a validation phase, a publishing phase, and a clean up phase, for example.
