19. A method of converting a data-driven regression test script of an automated testing tool into a data-driven function, said method comprising: receiving said data-driven regression test script comprising at least one object,wherein said object describes at least one action initiated by said regression test script to test a software application; inserting a physical description related to said object into said data-driven regression test script, said physical description copied from an external GUI map; assigning a variable name to said physical description; declaring said variable name in said data-driven regression test script; assigning a command to connect said data-driven regression test script to a datatable comprising data used by said data-driven regression test script in testing said software application; compiling said data-driven regression test script comprising said object and said physical description to generate said data-driven function; storing said data-driven function in a centralized library accessible by a pluralityof users allowing said data-driven function to be shared between different regression tests andreused for said subsequent regression test; and testing the software application by executing the stored data-driven function, wherein the stored data-driven function performs the regressive test without the external GUI map.

The method as recited in claim 19 wherein said data-driven regression test script is written in Test Script Language (TSL).
