Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual checking by expert is used, then checking accuracy is improved, but checking time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated testing where the electronic checking system independently executes test workflows, compares results against reference data, and generates validation messages without requiring continuous expert intervention. The automated workflow management and execution allow the system to check applications autonomously while maintaining accuracy through predefined testing criteria and reference results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical checking processes with automated electronic systems. The electronic checking system uses software-based workflow generation, automated execution of testing procedures, and electronic comparison of results against reference data, eliminating the need for manual expert intervention while maintaining checking accuracy through programmed validation criteria.
2Measurement precision
If manual checking by expert is used, then checking accuracy is improved, but device complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated testing where the electronic checking system independently executes test workflows, compares results against reference data, and generates validation messages without requiring continuous expert intervention. The automated workflow management and execution allow the system to check applications autonomously while maintaining accuracy through predefined testing criteria and reference results.
Solution Approach 2:
The checking process is segmented into distinct modular components: workflow generation module, test execution module, result comparison module, and validation message generation module. This segmentation allows each component to perform specific functions independently, making the overall system easier to operate and maintain while preserving checking accuracy through specialized processing at each stage.
3Productivity
If automated testing is implemented, then checking efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic checking system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple types of applications and testing scenarios through a single integrated architecture. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including workflow generation, test execution, result comparison, and validation messaging within one unified system, improving checking efficiency across diverse applications while managing complexity through shared components and standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining testing workflows, reference results, and validation criteria before actual application checking. This allows the complex automated testing to be built upon pre-prepared templates and standards, improving efficiency through rapid execution while managing system complexity by preparing test configurations in advance rather than managing them during execution.
