197 results about "Data flow diagram" patented technology

A data-flow diagram (DFD) is a way of representing a flow of a data of a process or a system (usually an information system). The DFD also provides information about the outputs and inputs of each entity and the process itself. A data-flow diagram has no control flow, there are no decision rules and no loops. Specific operations based on the data can be represented by a flowchart.

System and method for generating and maintaining software code

A system and method for intelligently generating computer code. The system being comprised of a local computer, which is connected to a remote computer via a network system or the Internet and which is capable of exchanging files with the remote computer. The local computer is further comprised of a document manager for transferring files between the local computer and the remote computer and for providing enhanced file management functions. The document manager works in connection with the server module, the site manager and the connectivity layer to connect to remote computers, to transparently exchange files with the remote computer and to manage server profiles and connection information that is related to remote computers and transferred files. Once the file is transferred to the local computer, the editor can modify the code associated with the file; the editor is also capable of creating new files. The visualizer is capable of displaying a program flow diagram and a data flow diagram, which are comprised of program flow icons and data flow arrows to depict the code in terms of processing blocks and data blocks. To assist in developing new code or editing existing code, the template manager allows the user to browse through a directory of existing code sections or templates and to copy templates into the selected code for editing. For allowing the editor to process code that is written in different Data Management System programming languages and for creating the program flow icons, the parser layer detects the file type of a selected file and activates the rules and logic that apply to the corresponding Data Management System.

Requirements-based test generation

This test generator takes data flow block diagrams and uses requirements-based templates, selective signal propagation, and range comparison and intersection to generate test cases containing test vectors for those diagrams. The templates are based on the functionality and characteristics of a block type, and each block type has associated templates. These templates provide maps for the creation of test values that verify the functionality of particular instances of that block type. Signal propagation allows the generation of diagram-level test cases that verify particular characteristics of a single embedded block. The methods disclosed for signal propagation utilize range intersection, equivalence classes, and block type formulae to create efficient and complete test cases. This test generation method would preferably be repeated until all blocks in a data flow block diagram were verified in their respective contexts, and it creates test cases that cover multiple time steps.
