Abstract
Methods and associated structures and systems for automating software test procedures so as to enable automated black box and white box testing techniques to be performed in an automated manner. The present invention further provides for test sequences to be easily maintained in synchronization with corresponding changes in the underlying source code files. In particular, white box and black box test sequences are described in a test language of the present invention in a manner which is embedded within comments of the programming language used to implement the software product. Such comments are ignored by software development tool sets. Testing tools of the present invention parse the source code files to extract white box and black box test sequences defined in the comments therein. The test sequences so extracted are then performed by the test tool in cooperation with a software debugging tool for purposes of applying stimuli both for black box testing of the software product as a whole and for white box testing of internal functions and modules of the software product.
