Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The testing system automatically queries the database for reference information interaction records and generates associated field values without human intervention. The automated testing program independently completes the entire process of querying, matching, and generating test data, eliminating the need for testers to manually query logs and fill in associated fields, thereby significantly improving testing efficiency and speed

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of querying and filling associated fields with an automated computer-based system. The testing program automatically queries the database, matches records, and generates associated field values through automated processing, substituting human manual operations with automated computational processes to enhance testing productivity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If manual filling and modifying of associated fields is used, then testing can be completed, but accuracy of testing results decreases due to human error

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of testing resultsVSAvoidease of manual filling

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic querying and generation of associated field values without requiring manual filling or modifying operations. The automated testing program independently retrieves reference records from the database and generates accurate associated field values, eliminating human error-prone manual operations while maintaining ease of operation through full automation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses database records as accurate templates to generate associated field values. By copying and utilizing pre-stored reference information from the database, the system ensures accuracy of testing results without requiring manual transcription or modification, thereby eliminating human error while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Extent of automation

If database records are matched to automatically modify associated fields, then some automation is achieved, but additional database modules are required increasing device complexity and cost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomation of obtaining associated fieldsVSAvoidcomplexity of database modules

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the existing database module perform multiple functions: it stores both reference information interaction records and associated information interaction records, and provides automated querying and matching capabilities for generating associated field values. By enabling the database module to serve multiple purposes, the patent achieves automation without requiring additional specialized database modules, thereby reducing device complexity and cost

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the functions of storing reference records, storing associated records, and performing automated matching queries into a single integrated database module. By merging these previously separate functions into one unified module, the system achieves automation while minimizing device complexity and avoiding the need for additional separate database components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
