Abstract

A system and method for remotely testing application program interface function calls within a software application under test which does not require a priori programming of function-specific algorithms within the software application under test. The invention provides a lookup agent within the software application under test for determining indirect reference values and a component test framework for handling messaging between the software application under test and a test application.
