Automated test support for a laboratory information system

When creating the test framework, it was divided into two sub-areas: Organization and setup, as well as implementation of regression tests. For the organization and setup of regression tests, the Microsoft unit testing framework was selected. In the first step, the individual software is preconfigured automatically per test scenario and the actual tests, consisting of specifically combined and randomly filled XML test messages, are created. In the second step (implementation of the tests), a separate framework is implemented in PL/SQL. The previously-configured XML test message is transferred to the different interfaces for the software and their correct processing is tested via a database or XML comparison.
