Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional validation execution technologies face challenges such as lengthy test validation execution times, susceptibility to human errors, and increased regulatory compliance risks due to manual processes like data entry, screenshot capture, and documentation.

Innovation Solution

An automated test case validation execution system that automatically performs test case validation execution corresponding to a defined validation protocol by parsing image-based test evidence, extracting test results, interpreting results using machine learning, and updating documentation, thereby reducing manual intervention and errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual validation execution is used, then human review and interpretation can be performed, but validation execution time becomes excessively lengthy (25-30 days)

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidation accuracyVSAvoidvalidation execution time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of validation execution with an automated computer-based system. The automated system performs test execution, data collection, and result analysis without human intervention, reducing validation time from 25-30 days to significantly shorter periods while maintaining reliability through systematic automated procedures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The automated validation system performs self-service by automatically executing test cases, collecting results, and generating validation reports without requiring continuous human intervention. The system independently manages the entire validation process, including automated data entry and documentation generation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If manual data entry and documentation are performed, then detailed test results can be recorded, but human errors increase (incorrect data entry, erroneous attachments, misinterpretation)

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetest result accuracyVSAvoiderror rate

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual data entry and documentation processes with automated computer-based systems. The automated system extracts test results directly from test execution environments, eliminating manual transcription errors. Automated documentation generation ensures accurate recording of test results without human intervention, thereby reducing the error rate associated with manual operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If manual validation processes are used, then flexible interpretation of results is possible, but regulatory compliance risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterpretation flexibilityVSAvoidregulatory compliance

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual validation processes with an automated system that ensures consistent application of validation criteria. The automated system follows predefined protocols and regulations, eliminating variability in interpretation while maintaining compliance through systematic, auditable processes. The system generates comprehensive documentation that demonstrates regulatory compliance automatically.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Productivity

If automated test case validation execution is implemented, then validation time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidation execution speedVSAvoidautomation system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated validation system is designed as a multi-functional platform that can execute various types of test cases across different equipment and software systems. The system incorporates universal components for test case management, automated execution, result analysis, and documentation generation, reducing overall complexity through consolidation of functions into a single integrated system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Automated test case validation execution is presented herein. A system obtains image data representing a test result of a test step of a validation process; extracts the test result from the image data; derives an expected result from an expected result sentence that has been obtained from a first cell of a row of a table of a document, in which the row corresponds to the test step; based on the test result and the expected result, determines a test status of the test step; generates a result sentence comprising the test result and a portion of the expected result sentence; generates a javascript object notation (JSON) data structure comprising the result sentence and the test status; and populates, using the JSON data structure, a second cell of the row with the result sentence and a third cell of the row with the test status.
