Solution Overview

Problem

The existing compatibility detection process for application systems across various operating systems is labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring extensive resources and lengthy testing due to the need for comprehensive white box testing across multiple platforms.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for compatibility detection that involves acquiring the dependency form of an application system and its libraries across multiple operating systems, performing compatibility matching detection, classifying systems into compatible and non-compatible categories based on dependency matching items, and conducting a white box test on compatible systems to determine actual compatibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a white box test is performed on all operating system platforms to ensure real and reliable test results, then the reliability of compatibility detection is improved, but the workload and time required for testing increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereliability of test resultVSAvoidtest time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the operating system platforms into two groups: first operating system platforms that pass the dependency compatibility matching and require white box testing, and second operating system platforms that fail the dependency compatibility matching and are determined to be incompatible without testing. This segmentation reduces the scope of time-consuming white box tests to only those platforms that have a chance of compatibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs dependency compatibility matching as a preliminary action before conducting white box tests. This preliminary filtering based on dependency libraries identifies which operating system platforms are likely to be compatible, allowing the more time-consuming white box tests to be focused only on those platforms, thereby reducing overall test time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If a white box test is performed on all operating system platforms to ensure real and reliable test results, then the reliability of compatibility detection is improved, but the manpower and material resources required increase significantly

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the operating system platforms into two groups: first operating system platforms that pass the dependency compatibility matching and require white box testing, and second operating system platforms that fail the dependency compatibility matching and are determined to be incompatible without testing. This segmentation reduces the scope of resource-intensive white box tests to only those platforms that have a chance of compatibility.

3Productivity

If dependency compatibility matching is performed to filter operating system platforms before white box testing, then the test scale and resource requirements are reduced, but additional detection steps are added to the process

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetesting efficiencyVSAvoiddetection process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the detection process into two distinct stages: dependency compatibility matching (comparing dependency forms with dependency libraries) and white box testing. This segmentation adds a structured preliminary step that filters platforms before comprehensive testing, improving overall efficiency despite the added procedural step.

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for compatibility detection, a device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: a dependency form of an application system and dependency libraries of each of operating systems are acquired; compatibility matching detection is respectively performed on the dependency form and each of the dependency libraries, so as to obtain matching forms corresponding to each of the operating systems; by the matching forms, the operating systems are divided into first operating systems which are in dependency compatibility with the application system, and second operating systems which are not in dependency compatibility with the application system; it is determined that the application system is not compatible with the second operating system; and a compatibility white box test is performed on the first operating system, so as to obtain a compatibility result, which indicates whether the application system is compatible with the first operating system.
