Abstract:
Many software companies use PERL for test automation. It is not uncommon for software engineers, over the course of many years, to re-create functionally identical code many times, because of the difficulty of locating and incorporating legacy PERL code for reuse. This project comprised the design, coding, and testing of a tool, the PERL Script Generator and Function Database, which enables software engineers to create, maintain, and search a repository of PERL functions, from which an automated test project consisting of a PERL module, one or more PERL scripts, and associated documentation, can be generated automatically based on a project specification represented as an Excel spreadsheet.
