TESTING OF HARDWARE QUEUE SYSTEMS USING ON DEVICE TEST GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17551482 titled 'TESTING OF HARDWARE QUEUE SYSTEMS USING ON DEVICE TEST GENERATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a system that can test a hardware queue system by dividing it into different types of queues, generating tests using these queues, and executing multiple instances of the tests. The results of the tests are then compared to detect any hardware faults in the queue system.
- The system includes a processor that receives a queue testing package.
- The processor divides the hardware queue system into different types of queues.
- The processor generates a test using the different types of queues.
- Multiple instances of the generated test are executed by the processor.
- The results of the multiple test instances are compared to detect hardware faults in the queue system.
Potential Applications
- Testing and debugging hardware queue systems in various industries such as telecommunications, networking, and data centers.
- Quality assurance and reliability testing of hardware queue systems in manufacturing processes.
- Research and development of new hardware queue systems to ensure their functionality and performance.
Problems Solved
- Detecting hardware faults in a queue system can be challenging and time-consuming.
- Traditional testing methods may not cover all possible scenarios and types of queues in a hardware queue system.
- Manual comparison of test results can be prone to human error and may not be efficient for large-scale testing.
Benefits
- Efficient and automated testing of hardware queue systems.
- Comprehensive coverage of different types of queues in the testing process.
- Detection of hardware faults in a timely manner, reducing downtime and potential system failures.
- Improved reliability and performance of hardware queue systems through rigorous testing and fault detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example system includes a processor that can receive a queue testing package. The processor can divide a hardware (HW) queue system to be tested into different types of queues. The processor can also generate a test using the different types of queues. The processor can further execute multiple instances of the generated test. The processor can also further compare results of the multiple instances of the test to detect a hardware fault in the hardware queue system.
