Abstract

Implementations of the present disclosure provide methods including analyzing a plurality of units of a software application to determine a dependency graph defining that at least a first unit depends on a second unit. Each unit includes executable instructions. An execution order is determined for the units based on the dependency graph, wherein the execution order specifies execution of the second unit before the first unit. Unit tests are executed for the units according to the execution order, including executing a unit test of the second unit before the first unit. Executing a unit test for a unit comprises executing the executable instructions of the unit and comparing a resulting value to an expected value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of units of a software application, each of the plurality of units comprising source code;
parsing each of the plurality of units to identify one or more annotations that are inserted into the source code of the respective unit, the one or more annotations specifying one or more parameters for executing a unit test for the respective unit;
generating a dependency…
