This paper details a framework used to automate regression tests based on business risk, which is built on a modular approach to provide a high degree of flexibility and to provide a good degree of abstraction. The organization of the framework is such that the users can build scenarios, modify tests, and define alternate paths for execution automatically. It also generates a consolidated result file and a matrix for re-assessing the risks based on the test results.
