Automation Code Switchable Container for User Action Replay Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automation scripts often capture user actions with multiple alternative interpretations inaccurately, leading to incorrect replay results during load testing, functional testing, and security testing of systems.
Innovation Solution
A system that identifies and represents multiple alternative interpretations of user actions using a switchable container, allowing users to manually select the correct interpretation through a user interface, and generates executable automation code that reflects the chosen interpretation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If automation scripts capture user actions with a single interpretation, then the automation code is simpler to generate, but the replay accuracy decreases when the user action has multiple valid interpretations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interpretation of user actions by dividing them into multiple alternative interpretations, each representing a different valid meaning of the same user action. This allows the automation system to capture and replay each interpretation separately, improving replay accuracy while keeping each individual interpretation simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic switching between multiple interpretations of user actions. The automation code can dynamically select and switch between different interpretations based on the testing scenario, allowing the system to adapt to different testing needs while maintaining simplicity in each individual interpretation.
2Reliability
If automation scripts capture all alternative interpretations of user actions, then the replay accuracy improves, but the device complexity and user intervention requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal automation code structure that can handle multiple interpretations of user actions through a single unified framework. This multi-functional approach allows the same automation code to replay different interpretations by simply switching between them, improving testing reliability while avoiding the need for separate automation scripts for each interpretation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the interpretation switching mechanism) that mediates between the automation code and the multiple user action interpretations. This intermediary handles the complexity of managing multiple interpretations internally, presenting a simplified interface to users while ensuring reliable replay of the intended interpretation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If automation scripts use a single interpretation of user actions, then the automation code is easier to generate with less user intervention, but the flexibility to handle different testing scenarios decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-capturing all possible interpretations of user actions during the automation code generation phase. This allows the system to have all interpretation options ready in advance, enabling quick switching between different testing scenarios without requiring additional code generation or user intervention at runtime.

AI summary
A representation of plural alternative interpretations of a user action is provided. Automation code containing the representation is executable to replay the user action.
