METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR GENERATING TEST CASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134780 titled 'METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR GENERATING TEST CASE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for generating test cases for product testing in a dynamic and automated manner.

  • Acquiring a first set of coding sequences representing a first set of test cases selected from a test case set for product testing.
  • Coding test elements based on their position in the element hierarchy of the test case set.
  • Generating a second set of coding sequences by introducing random variations related to at least one test element from the first set.
  • Creating a second set of test cases based on the second set of coding sequences.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in software development, quality assurance, and product testing industries.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for generating a test case involve: acquiring a first set of coding sequences representing a first set of test cases selected from a test case set for product testing. a test element in a test case of the test case set is coded based on the position of the test element in the element hierarchy of the test case set. the techniques further involve: generating a second set of coding sequences by performing a random variation related to at least one test element with respect to the first set of coding sequences; and generating a second set of test cases based on the second set of coding sequences. accordingly, product testing and development may be automated, and the case set may change dynamically in a way that is adapted to product development while significantly reducing the overhead of designing and reviewing test cases throughout the product life cycle.
