Adaptive Testing Framework for Cross-Tool Portability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing testing systems for complex technology platform applications are challenging to manage due to the need for multiple testing tools, each requiring separate programming and test codes, leading to time-consuming and technically complex shifts between tools, and a lack of portability of test codes across different platforms.
Innovation Solution
A computerized system with an adaptive application testing framework that facilitates the creation and portability of test objects across multiple testing tools by constructing a test object repository and generating test scripts, allowing for easy migration and reduced resource consumption during tool changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple testing tools are used to test complex technology platform applications, then testing coverage and capability are improved, but device complexity and difficulty of operation increase due to separate programming and test codes for each tool
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the testing system into independent test object definitions that are separate from test execution logic. Test objects are defined once in a centralized repository with standardized interfaces, while testing tools can be swapped without modifying test codes. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining comprehensive testing coverage through multiple tools while reducing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer - the test object repository with standardized interfaces - that mediates between testing tools and test execution. This intermediary allows different testing tools to interact with test objects through uniform interfaces, eliminating the need for separate programming for each tool and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining testing capability.
2Reliability
If separate test codes are written for each testing tool, then tool-specific testing requirements are met, but loss of time increases due to time-consuming shifts between tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal test object definitions that can be executed by multiple different testing tools through standardized interfaces. A single test code written against the test object repository can be run by any testing tool that supports the standardized interface, eliminating the need to write separate test codes for each tool and significantly reducing tool switching time while maintaining testing accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If testing is performed using traditional methods without a unified framework, then flexibility in tool selection is maintained, but productivity decreases due to lack of portability of test codes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic testing framework where test objects are defined with standardized interfaces that can adapt to different testing tools. The test object repository allows test codes to be dynamically selected and executed by different tools without modification, providing both flexibility in tool selection and high productivity through code reusability and portability.
