Abstract

A technique relates testing an application under test using (AUT) testing. The testing software creates a testcase by executing the AUT under normal usage, and normal usage is defined as operating the AUT for its intended purpose. The normal usage is not part of the testing. Creating the testcase includes capturing artifacts related to running the AUT under the normal usage, and the artifacts include an input artifact to the AUT and an output artifact resulting from executing the AUT. Also, the testcase is executed by re-executing the AUT using the input artifact previously captured in the artifacts of the testcase in order to obtain a new output artifact. The testing software verifies the new output artifact resulting from execution of the testcase by comparing the output artifact previously captured in the artifacts from executing the AUT under the normal usage to the new output artifact from executing the testcase.
