Innovation Solution

An end-of-line test method and system that utilizes an upper-level computer to obtain an initial test formula from a test requirement structured system, convert it into a target test formula in XML format, and control a test device for testing, incorporating test item and instruction libraries for automated formula generation and modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual setting of test formula is used, then flexibility in test configuration is maintained, but configuration efficiency and accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest formula generation efficiencyVSAvoidtest formula configuration accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The test requirement structured system automatically generates test formulas by self-configuring based on test item requirements, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The system retrieves test items, configures parameters, and generates executable test formulas autonomously, thereby improving both efficiency and accuracy simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical configuration process with an automated information processing system. The upper-level computer system automatically retrieves requirements, configures test parameters, and generates test formulas through software-based processes, substituting human manual operations with automated computational methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of time

If manual configuration of test formula is performed, then complex test scenarios can be customized, but time consumption and error rates increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest formula configuration timeVSAvoidtest formula configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary configuration by pre-defining test item requirements and parameters in a structured format. The test requirement structured system prepares test formulas in advance based on predefined templates and requirements, so that when testing is needed, the formulas are already configured and ready for execution, significantly reducing configuration time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the test formula configuration from a complex manual process into a parameter-driven automated process. By changing the state of test requirements into structured data parameters, the system can automatically configure test formulas through parameter matching and substitution, simplifying the operation while maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automated test formula generation is implemented, then generation efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest formula generation speedVSAvoidtest system structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the test system into distinct functional modules: a test requirement structured system for generating test formulas and an upper-level computer system for executing tests. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific tasks, improving generation speed while managing complexity through modular architecture where each component has a defined responsibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a test requirement structured system as an intermediary between requirement specifications and test execution. This intermediary layer automatically transforms high-level test requirements into executable test formulas, bridging the gap between user needs and system execution without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An end-of-line test method and system are disclosed. The test system includes an upper-level computer, a test device, and a test requirement structured system. The upper-level computer in the test system obtains an initial test formula from the test requirement structured system in response to a test formula download instruction, where the test requirement structured system is configured to generate the initial test formula based on a test item requirement, and the initial test formula includes related information of the test item requirement. Then, the upper-level computer converts the initial test formula into a target test formula in an extensible markup language format. Finally, the upper-level computer controls, based on the target test formula, the test device to test a product to obtain a test result.
