Abstract

This technology relates to a method and system for executing automated tests in an integrated test environment comprising plurality of test environments. The test management module configured in the system creates one or more test sets by grouping the one or more test cases received from the input module. The control module determines status of the test environment for executing each test set. If the test environment is available then the corresponding test set is executed and if the test environment is not available an order of execution of the test sets is rearranged. The status of the test environment is checked after a predetermined time interval and if the test environment is not available, the control module determines the availability of the virtual response for providing virtual service. If the test environment is not available the control module creates a ticket indicating failure of the test environment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for executing automated tests in an integrated test environment comprising a plurality of test environments, the method comprising:
receiving, by a test execution computing apparatus, one or more test cases from a test management system; creating, by the test execution computing apparatus, one or more test sets by grouping the one or more test cases; determining, by the test execution computing apparatus, a status of each of the plurality of test environments needed for executing each of the one or more test sets; and rearranging, by the test execution computing apparatus, an order of execution of each of the one or more test sets based on the status of each of the plurality of test environments.

2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising executing, by the test execution computing apparatus, each of the one or more test sets based on the order of execution.

3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining, by the test execution computing apparatus, availability of a virtual response for each of the one or more test sets upon determining non-availability of the test environment for executing each of the one or more test sets; and
providing, by the test execution computing apparatus, a virtual service for executing each of the one or more test sets based on the availability of the virtual response.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the status of each of the plurality of test environments is one of availability and non-availability.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the status of each of the plurality of test environments further comprises:
executing, by the test execution computing apparatus, one or more automated instructions in at least one of the plurality of test environments corresponding to each of the one or more test sets; and determining, by the test execution computing apparatus, an execution status of each of the one or more automated instructions based on the execution of the one or more automated instructions, wherein the execution status is one of success and failure.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the rearranging the order of execution of each of the one or more test sets comprises:
providing, by the test execution computing apparatus, highest order of execution for one of the one or more test sets upon determining availability of corresponding test environment; and providing, by the test execution computing apparatus, lowest order of execution for one of the one or more test sets upon determining non-availability of corresponding test environment.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more test sets are executed in circular queue order in which highest order test set is placed at beginning of the circular queue and lowest order test set is placed at end of the circular queue.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the rearranging the order of execution is based on the status of each of the plurality of test environments and a predefined order.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the status of each of the plurality of test environments further comprises:
identifying, by the test execution computing apparatus, the status of each of the plurality of test environments after a predefined interval of time; and re-arranging, by the test execution computing apparatus, the order of execution based on the identified status of each of the plurality of test environments after the predefined interval of time.

10 . A test execution computing apparatus comprising:
at least one at least one processor; and at least one memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising and stored in the memory to: receive one or more test cases from a test management system; create one or more test sets for the automated tests by grouping the one or more test cases; determine a status of each of the plurality of test environments needed for executing each of the one or more test sets; and rearrange an order of execution of each of the one or more test sets based on the status of each of the plurality of test environments;

11 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions for the determine the status of each of the plurality of test environments further comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
execute one or more automated instructions in at least one of the plurality of test environments corresponding to each of the one or more test sets; and determine an execution status of each of the one or more automated instructions based on the execution of the one or more automated instructions, wherein the execution status is one of success and failure.

12 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions for the determine the status of each of the plurality of test environments further comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
identify the status of each of the plurality of test environments after a predefined interval of time; and re-arrange the order of execution based on the identified status of each of the plurality of test environments after the predefined interval of time.

13 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
determine availability of a virtual response for each of the one or more test sets upon determining non-availability of the test environment for executing each of the one or more test sets; and provide a virtual service for executing each of the one or more test sets based on the availability of the virtual response.

14 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions for the rearrange the order of execution of each of the one or more test sets further comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
provide highest order of execution for one of the one or more test sets upon determining availability of corresponding test environment; and provide lowest order of execution for one of the one or more test sets upon determining non-availability of corresponding test environment.

15 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
execute the one or more test sets in circular queue order in which highest order test set is placed at beginning of the circular queue and lowest order test set is placed at end of the circular queue.

16 . The test execution computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor coupled to the memory is further configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising at least one additional programmed instruction to:
rearrange the order of execution based on the status of each of the plurality of test environments and a predefined order.

17 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for executing automated tests in an integrated test environment comprising a plurality of test environments comprising exe
