Field property extraction and field value validation using a validated dataset

Abstract:

A method includes executing, multiple times, a target application with at least one test input dataset to obtain multiple test output datasets. The test output data sets each include multiple field values for multiple fields. The method further includes comparing the field values with at least one validated output dataset to assign the fields into a match class, an ignore class, and an unknown class, extracting, from the comparing, a field property for a first subset of the fields in the match class, and generating a test result by adding, to the test result, whether a first subset of the field values corresponding to the first subset of the fields satisfies a corresponding field property, and ignoring a second subset of the a second subset of fields classified in the ignore class. The method further includes presenting the test result.
