Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual parameter input and complex programming methods are used for application registration and testing, then testing accuracy can be maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses templates to copy predefined parameter structures and test case formats. Instead of manually creating test parameters from scratch, users select from pre-defined templates that automatically provide the correct parameter structure, data types, and validation rules, thereby maintaining testing accuracy while significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating test cases and validating parameters based on the selected templates. The automated generation ensures consistency and accuracy without requiring manual intervention for each parameter, allowing users with minimal programming knowledge to complete application registration and testing efficiently.
2Productivity
If automated test case generation is implemented, then productivity improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining parameter templates and test case structures before actual application testing. These templates contain all necessary validation rules, data types, and test scenarios that will be automatically applied during testing, enabling high productivity without requiring complex real-time processing logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the testing process into distinct template-based modules for parameter definition, test case generation, and validation. Each module operates independently with clearly defined interfaces, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining automated testing capabilities and high productivity.
