A test case server stores and manages test case data in a central repository. A test client communicates between a test program and the test server to identify tests case data, and versions of such data, with desired read/write status required in testing a software program. A test program automates selection of test case data, software program test execution, and verification of software program results. In an exemplary embodiment, symbolic links and copies of test case data are recorded in a destination directory structure accessible by a software program under test. In an alternate embodiment, a revision control system (RCS) is used to access the central repository and provide copies of selected test case data in a destination directory structure accessible by a software program under test. A method for communicating and implementing the desired test case access includes instructions initiated by a test client and received by a test server. A central repository administration application allows a user to organize, supplement and otherwise manage test case data and versions of such data. The client/server configuration further facilitates access by a plurality of users to a shared central repository of test case data without corrupting the test case data therein.Other References
