Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time testing and validation is performed for all functionalities and communication sequences, then testing completeness is improved, but testing time and resource consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the production environment including virtual machines, networks, and data stores that mirror the actual system. This virtual environment allows comprehensive testing to be performed on the copy without affecting the production system, enabling complete validation of all functionalities and communication sequences while avoiding the time loss of waiting for production system availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs testing and validation actions in advance before actual production deployment or before critical operations. By pre-validating all functionalities, communication sequences, and system behaviors in the virtual environment, the patent ensures testing completeness is achieved without incurring time penalties during actual production operations.
2Reliability
If comprehensive testing of all functionalities and communication sequences is performed, then system reliability is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the production environment including virtual machines, networks, and data stores that mirror the actual system. This virtual environment allows comprehensive testing to be performed on the copy without affecting the production system, enabling complete validation of all functionalities and communication sequences while avoiding the time loss of waiting for production system availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing system is segmented into multiple independent virtual components including virtual machines, virtual networks, and virtual data stores. This segmentation allows parallel testing of different functionalities and communication sequences simultaneously, distributing resource consumption across multiple virtual entities rather than concentrating all testing loads on a single system, thereby improving overall resource efficiency.
3Productivity
If digital therapeutic applications are deployed before complete testing and validation, then deployment time is reduced, but functionality and communication quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs testing and validation actions in advance before actual production deployment or before critical operations. By pre-validating all functionalities, communication sequences, and system behaviors in the virtual environment, the patent ensures testing completeness is achieved without incurring time penalties during actual production operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the production environment including virtual machines, networks, and data stores that mirror the actual system. This virtual environment allows comprehensive testing to be performed on the copy without affecting the production system, enabling complete validation of all functionalities and communication sequences while avoiding the time loss of waiting for production system availability.
4Reliability
If complex sequences of messages and responses are tested over long time spans, then communication validation is improved, but testing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the production environment including virtual machines, networks, and data stores that mirror the actual system. This virtual environment allows comprehensive testing to be performed on the copy without affecting the production system, enabling complete validation of all functionalities and communication sequences while avoiding the time loss of waiting for production system availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple testing functions including virtual machine management, network simulation, data store validation, and communication sequence testing into a single integrated virtual environment. This consolidation reduces testing complexity by providing a unified platform that handles all aspects of comprehensive validation simultaneously, rather than requiring separate complex systems for each testing dimension.
