Abstract

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and system is provided for testing software. In an implementation, a method may include executing at least one test group during testing of a software application in a multi-platform testing environment. The method may also include detecting an error in the software application based upon, at least in part, execution of the at least one test group. The method may further include resolving the error during execution of the at least one test group in the multi-platform testing environment.

First claim

1 .- 7 . (canceled)

8 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
executing at least one test group during testing of a software application in a multi-platform testing environment; detecting an error in the software application based upon, at least in part, execution of the at least one test group; diagnosing the error during execution of the at least one test group; and resolving the error during execution of the at least one test group in the multiplatform testing environment.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein executing the at least one test group during testing of the software application in the multi-platform testing environment includes concurrently executing the at least one test group during testing of the software application across a plurality of operating systems.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further including:
testing incremental code during testing of the software application.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one test group is executed based upon, at least in part, a priority level.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one test group includes at least one test case.

13 . The computer program product of claim 12 , further including:
executing the at least one test case during testing of the software application in the multi-platform testing environment.

14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the at least one test case is executed based upon, at least in part, a processing order.

15 . A system comprising:
at least one processor device and at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor device, the at least one processor device configured for:
executing at least one test group during testing of a software application in a multi-platform testing environment;
detecting an error in the software application based upon, at least in part, execution of the at least one test group;
diagnosing the error during execution of the at least one test group; and
resolving the error during execution of the at least one test group in the multiplatform testing environment.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein executing the at least one test group during testing of the software application in the multi-platform testing environment includes concurrently executing the at least one test group during testing of the software application across a plurality of operating systems.

17 . The system of claim 15 , further including:
testing incremental code during testing of the software application.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one test group is executed based upon, at least in part, a priority level.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one test group includes at least one test case.

20 . The system of claim 19 , further including:
executing the at least one test case during testing of the software application in the multi-platform testing environment.
