US Patent 9111030 Systems and methods for testing a software application

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for testing a software application. An exemplary method includes storing a control file identifying a test case for testing a software application. A first expect result may be extracted from a device storing expected results of the software application, the first expected result being identified by the control file. A first actual result may be extracted from a device storing actual results output by the software application, the first actual result being identified by the control file. The first expected result may be compared with the first actual result to determine whether the first actual result matches the first expected result. A result file indicated whether the test case passed or failed s generated, and the test case has passed when the first actual result matches the first expected result. the result file may be stored in a storage device.
