Solution Overview

Problem

Prior art systems for software testing in enterprise environments are not optimized for generating test cases, require significant manual involvement, and rely on multiple independent testing modules, leading to incorrect test cases, delays, and inefficient resource use.

Innovation Solution

Automated generation and execution of test cases for software projects using Structured Query Language (SQL) definitions, which determine test case results and status, reducing human intervention and improving efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated test case generation is implemented, then productivity and testing speed improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the software testing process into distinct modular components: test case generation module, test execution module, result analysis module, and SQL definition module. Each module handles specific aspects of testing independently, improving productivity while managing complexity through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The testing system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple testing scenarios, data models, and software projects through a single integrated architecture. The system uses standardized interfaces and configurable parameters to accommodate diverse testing requirements without requiring separate specialized systems for each case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If manual involvement is reduced, then loss of time decreases, but reliability may worsen due to automation errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting delayVSAvoidtest case accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where test execution results are automatically analyzed and used to refine future test case generation. The result analysis module provides feedback on test outcomes, enabling continuous improvement of test case quality and accuracy while maintaining automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary validation and verification steps during test case generation before actual execution. SQL definitions are pre-checked, test parameters are validated against requirements, and test cases are reviewed against expected outcomes beforehand, ensuring reliability is maintained even with reduced manual involvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems, apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for dynamic software generation and testing of software projects. In one example implementation, a controller device automatically defines a test case; generates an SQL definition for the automatically-defined test case, and executes the test case SQL definition to determine a test case SQL result of the test case SQL definition.
