Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method that provides for an effective way of creating and maintaining test scripts. In this regard, the application under test (AUT) software objects are abstracted in a mapping, verification points (VP) are created, and actions are scripted. The mapping is independent of the language. Objects in the scripts are mapped to the actual objects in the application under test (AUT). The actions are scripted once and then run on any language (internationalization testing—i. e. English, Chinese, German, etc. ). In addition, verification points (VP) can be extracted from an application under test (AUT). The baseline text (translations) can be displayed for review. The tester can then verify baseline translations, as will seen by an end user and or identify any missing baseline translations.
