Abstract

An application for which approval is requested is identified and multiple automated tests are applied to the application in groups of automated tests. Each of the groups of automated tests includes multiple ones of the multiple automated tests. If one or more automated tests in a group of automated tests returns an inconclusive result, then a manual check is initiated for the application based on the one or more automated tests that returned the inconclusive result. If one or more automated tests in a group, or a manual test applied in the manual check, returns a fail result then an indication that the application is rejected is returned, the indication that the application is rejected including an identification of why the application is rejected. If none of the multiple automated tests returns a fail result, then a manual testing phase is initiated.
