US Patent 11567859 Methods and systems to automatically deduce relationships among test steps

Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for executing a functional test on an application. According to one embodiment, a method for running a functional test on an application can comprise executing the function test on the application. The functional test can comprise a plurality of steps. The plurality of steps can comprise a set of related steps having one or more relationships between each other and a set of one or more independent steps having no relationships to other steps in the plurality of steps. The one or more relationships between the set of related steps can be deduced and an indication of the deduced one or more relationships between the set of related steps can be saved. The functional test can then be replayed on the application based on the saved indication of the deduced one or more relationships between the set of related steps.
