Code Testing on Operating Chip via Execution Flag Audit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing code testing solutions are prone to test loopholes and incur unnecessary costs due to independent testing of software executable files without actual working scenarios, leading to increased expenses and reduced reliability.
Innovation Solution
A code testing method that involves loading and executing code sets on an operating chip to identify and audit subsets that fail execution, using execution flag bits to determine successful execution and perform targeted audit testing, thereby improving reliability and reducing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If code testing is performed on software executable files independently without actual working scenarios, then testing can be conducted separately, but test loopholes increase and testing reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the code execution environment with the actual working scenario by loading and executing code sets directly on the operating chip. This integration allows testing to occur in the real operational context rather than in isolation, eliminating test loopholes while maintaining testing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The operating chip serves multiple functions: it operates as the actual working component and simultaneously functions as the testing platform. By executing code sets directly on the chip, the system achieves both normal operation and security verification without requiring separate testing infrastructure.
2Reliability
If comprehensive audit testing is performed on entire code sets, then testing reliability improves, but testing costs and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the code set into smaller code subsets and uses execution flag bits to identify only those subsets that failed execution. This segmentation allows the system to focus audit testing resources on specific problematic segments rather than performing comprehensive testing on the entire code set, reducing testing time while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of performing full audit testing on all code, the system performs partial testing only on code subsets that exhibited execution failures. This targeted approach applies excessive action only where needed (failed subsets) rather than uniformly across the entire code base, optimizing the balance between reliability and time consumption.
3Ease of manufacture
If code testing is performed in isolation from actual working scenarios, then testing setup is simpler, but test loopholes increase and unnecessary costs are incurred
Solution Approach 1:
The operating chip performs self-testing by executing code sets on itself during normal operation. The chip's own execution infrastructure is utilized for verification purposes, eliminating the need for external testing equipment or complex test setup while ensuring comprehensive testing coverage in the actual working environment.

AI summary
The invention discloses a code testing method. The method includes the following steps of: acquiring a code set to be tested; loading the code set to a corresponding operating chip, and executing the code set by using the operating chip; judging whether a target code subset which is not successfully executed exists in the code set; and if yes, performing an audit testing operation on the code set. The code testing method provided by the invention is simple and feasible to apply, which improves a testing reliability and reduces a testing cost. The invention also discloses a code testing apparatus and device, and a storage medium, which have corresponding technical effects.
