METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING ORCHESTRATION AND AUTOMATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEAMS DURING IT SYSTEMS TESTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455561 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING ORCHESTRATION AND AUTOMATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEAMS DURING IT SYSTEMS TESTING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that helps manage test operations and their owners. Here are the key points:

  • The apparatus keeps a record of multiple owners and their test operations.
  • It automatically prompts owners when a test operation fails.
  • It maintains a log of actions taken on each test operation and makes the log available.
  • The estimated time to completion is updated and notified to a management entity.
  • If the estimated time to completion is close to the delivery date, the order related to the test operation is marked and prioritized.
  • The marked orders are ranked based on the risk of not meeting the delivery date.
  • Owners are notified of the ranking with an urgent message if their order fails to meet the delivery date.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Test operation management in manufacturing or production environments.
  • Quality control processes in various industries.
  • Project management systems for tracking progress and deadlines.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of visibility and tracking of test operations and their owners.
  • Inefficient communication and coordination between owners and management.
  • Difficulty in prioritizing and managing orders based on delivery dates.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and organization in managing test operations.
  • Timely notifications and updates to owners and management.
  • Better prioritization and risk assessment for meeting delivery dates.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes circuitry configured to maintain a record of a plurality of owners and at least one test operation owned by an owner; prompt automatically the owner in response to a failure of the one test operation; maintain a log of actions taken on the one test operation, and provide availability to the log of actions; update an estimated time to completion, and notify a management entity of the updated estimated time to completion; mark and prioritize an order related to the one test operation, in response to the estimated time to completion being within a threshold of a delivery date; rank the marked order with other marked orders by a risk of not being able to meet the delivery date; and notify the owner of the ranking with an urgent message, in response to the marked order failing to meet the delivery date.
