Abstract

A method for providing integration test monitoring and management is disclosed. The method includes receiving, via an application programming interface, an integration contract, the integration contract relating to a dependency agreement between applications; mapping a dependency for each of the applications based on the integration contract; receiving, via the application programming interface, a request that relates to a regression testing request for an application; identifying a test from a test suite based on the request and a result of the mapping; automatically initiating, via an integration layer, the identified test based on a predetermined parameter; and capturing, via an application programming interface, a test result that corresponds to the automatically initiated test.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for providing integration test monitoring and management, the method being implemented by at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving, by the at least one processor via an application programming interface, at least one integration contract, the at least one integration contract relating to a dependency agreement between a plurality of applications;
mapping, by the at least one processor, at least one dependency for each of the plurality of applications based on the at least one integration contract;
receiving, by the at least one processor via the application programming interface, at least one request, the at least one request relating to a regression testing request for an application;
identifying, by the at least one processor, at least one test from a test suite based on the at least one request and a result of the mapping;
automatically initiating, by the at least one processor via an integration layer, the identified at least one test based on at least one predetermined parameter; and
capturing, by the at least one processor via the application programming interface, at least one test result that corresponds to the automatically initiated at least one test.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the at least one processor, at least one fault condition based on the captured at least one test result;
identifying, by the at least one processor based on the result of the mapping, at least one impacted dependency that corresponds to the at least one fault condition;
generating, by the at least one processor, at least one report, the at least one report including information that relates to at least one from among the at least one fault condition and the identified at least one impacted dependency; and
transmitting, by the at least one processor, at least one first notification in response to the at least one request, the at least one first notification including the generated at least one report.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
identifying, by the at least one processor, at least one responsible party that is associated with the at least one impacted dependency; and
transmitting, by the at least one processor, at least one second notification to the identified at least one responsible party, the at least one second notification including the generated at least one report.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one request includes the at least one predetermined parameter, the at least one predetermined parameter relating to at least one from among an on-demand testing parameter and a scheduled testing parameter.

5. The method of claim 1 , prior to receiving the at least one request, further comprises:
receiving, by the at least one processor, onboarding data together with the test suite, the onboarding data including a set of onboarding instructions that corresponds to the test suite and information that relates to the plurality of applications; and
onboarding, by the at least one processor, the test suite for the plurality of applications by using the onboarding data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein mapping the at least one dependency further comprises:
parsing, by the at least one processor, the at least one integration contract to identify the at least one dependency for each of the plurality of applications;
automatically requesting, by the at least one processor, confirmation of the at least one integration contract from each of the at least one dependency; and
mapping, by the at least one processor, the at least one dependency based on a result of the requesting.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein identifying the at least one dependency for each of the plurality of applications further comprises:
extracting, by the at least one processor, information that relates to the plurality of applications from the parsed at least one integration contract; and
inferring, by the at least one processor, the at least one dependency for each of the plurality of applications by using the extracted information.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information includes at least one from among integrated test suite information, shared communication protocol information, and common dependency information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically initiating the identified at least one test via the integration layer further comprises:
automatically identifying, by the at least one processor, at least one plug-in that corresponds to each of the identified at least one test, the at least one plug-in enabling communication with the identified at least one test and at least one associated testing tool; and
automatically initiating, by the at least one processor via the integration layer, each of the identified at least one test by using the corresponding at least one plug-in,
wherein each of the identified at least one test is automatically initiated based on the at least one predetermined parameter.

10. A computing device configured to implement an execution of a method for providing integration test monitoring and management, the computing device comprising:
a processor;
a memory; and
a communication interface coupled to each of the processor and the memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, via an application programming interface, at least one integration contract, the at least one integration contract relating to a dependency agreement between a plurality of applications;
map at least one dependency for each of the plurality of applications based on the at least one integration contract;
receive, via the application programming interface, at least one request, the at least one request relating to a regression testing request for an application;
identify at least one test from a test suite based on the at least one request and a result of the mapping;
automatically initiate, via an integration layer, the identified at least one test based on at least one predetermined parameter; and
capture, via the application programming interface, at least one test result that corresponds to the automatically initiated at least one test.

11. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine at least one fault condition based on the captured at least one test result;
identify, based on the result of the mapping, at least one impacted dependency that corresponds to the at least one fault condition;
generate at least one report, the at least one report including information that relates to at least one from among the at least one fault condition and the identified at least one impacted dependency; and
transmit at least one first notification in response to the at least one request, the at least one first notification including the generated at least one report.

12. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify at least one responsible party that is associated with the at least one impacted dependency; and
transmit at least one second notification to the identified at least one responsible party, the at least one second notification including the generated at least one report.

13. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one request includes the at least one predetermined parameter, the at least one predetermined parameter relating to at least one from among an on-demand testing parameter and a scheduled testing parameter.

14. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein, prior to receiving the at least one request, the processor is further configured to:
receive onboarding data together with t
