Abstract

A system, computer readable medium, and method for automatically testing computer objects affected by an update package. The exemplary method may compare computer objects/instances in an update package with those of the installed version of the computer application. A set of computer objects that have changed in the update package as compared to the installed version may be generated. The changes to each of the computer objects in the set of changed objects may be analyzed to determine if an automated test is related to the changed object. If an object has a related automated test assigned to it, the object may be placed in a separate list for testing. The automated tests of the changed objects in the separate list may be organized into a test plan. The automated tests may be executed according to the test plan. The system may have servers and computer processors to implement the method.
