METHOD FOR TESTING A COMPUTER PROGRAM IN MULTIPLE COMPOSITIONS MADE UP OF COMPUTER PROGRAM MODULES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012741 titled 'METHOD FOR TESTING A COMPUTER PROGRAM IN MULTIPLE COMPOSITIONS MADE UP OF COMPUTER PROGRAM MODULES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for testing a computer program that is composed of multiple program modules. The method involves conducting multiple test runs, where a base test input is selected from a predefined set of inputs. The base test input is modified based on the output of a random number generator. The program code is then compiled to create a version of the program with the modified test input, which is then tested.
- The method involves testing a computer program composed of multiple program modules.
- Multiple test runs are conducted, each using a base test input selected from a predefined set.
- The base test input is modified based on the output of a random number generator.
- The program code is compiled to create a version of the program with the modified test input.
- The version of the program is then tested.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Quality assurance and testing of computer programs with complex compositions.
- Testing software systems that are composed of multiple modules or components.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring the functionality and reliability of computer programs with complex compositions.
- Identifying and fixing bugs or errors in software systems composed of multiple modules.
Benefits of this technology:
- Efficient and systematic testing of computer programs with multiple modules.
- Increased confidence in the functionality and reliability of software systems.
- Improved software quality and reduced risk of errors or bugs.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for testing a computer program in multiple compositions made up of computer program modules. the method includes carrying out multiple test runs. in each test run, a base test input is selected from a set of base test inputs that are predefined for the test run, each being a subset of computer program modules of a set of computer program modules of which the computer program may be made up, the base test input for a test input is changed as a function of the output of a random number generator. program code of the computer program is compiled to form a version of the computer program in a composition made up of computer program modules that is given by the changed test input. the version of the computer program is tested.
