Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for efficiently automating software testing of business flows. In use, a business flow executed by a user is recorded by a testing system. The business flow is executed by the testing system utilizing a plurality of user selected parameters. Additionally, the recorded business flow is automatically parsed by the testing system into a plurality of activities associated with the business flow. Further, one or more existing automated activities in a test automation repository that correlate with one or more of the plurality of activities associated with the business flow are identified by the testing system (e.g. using a smart match algorithm). Moreover, an automated test for the business flow is generated by the testing system utilizing the one or more existing automated activities in the test automation repository. The automated test for the business flow is capable of utilizing a plurality of automatically selected parameters for testing the business flow.
