Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implement techniques for testing applications using configurable patterns. A test script is received for a pattern that includes a predefined arrangement of user interface elements and specifies predefined actions that can be performed using the user interface elements. The test script specifies test sequences operable to invoke one or more of the predefined actions that can be performed. A specification of an application is received, where the specification includes configuration data for the pattern. The configuration data specifies associations between one or more of the user interface elements and one or more entities in a back-end system. A generated application-specific test is operable to invoke one or more of the predefined actions according to the test sequences in the test script. The predefined actions use the entities in the back-end system with which the user interface elements are associated.
