Abstract

Techniques for programmatically coordinating, and synchronizing execution of, automated testing in event-driven systems. One or more user-provided test system event listeners listen for generated events and update test system status accordingly. A user-provided test suite definition invokes a test framework interface, thereby defining the structure of a test suite. This test suite is executed, referring to the test system status to determine when to move to a next stage (e.g., to a next test case or next test module). Test system status may also be updated directly from a test case or test module (e.g., when the test designer determines that the tested code will not generate events that can be leveraged for test status information).
