cAST Methodology
• Reusable/Modular - for use as code
“building blocks”
• Pre-designed templates - for easy and
consistent module development
• Standardized naming convention for menus,
files, transactions and variables
• Menu driven - run all tests or select specific
test(s)
cAST Methodology
• Variable driven - supply different data sets
without need to modify scripts
• Accept/reject criteria - field and screen
comparisons
• Automated results reporting - pass/fail, data
used, customized output files
