Automatically executing stateless transactions with data dependency in test cases
A test case data set that includes test step data sets is received. The test step data sets include a first test step data set that specifies a dependency data field. Test step objects to be used to execute test steps in a test case are generated based on the test step data sets. The test steps include a first test step to be executed using a first test step object generated based on the first test step data set. The first test step object is used to execute the first test step. The first test step as executed populates values in the dependency data field. The values in the dependency data field are accessed and used in a second test step in the test steps while the second test step is being executed using a second test step object in the test step objects.
