TEST SUPPORT APPARATUS, TEST SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557274 titled 'TEST SUPPORT APPARATUS, TEST SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM
The test support device described in the abstract includes a first reception unit that receives a list of input value candidates for an input element on a screen related to software testing, and a setting unit that sets one of the candidates as the input element after an operation is performed on an operation element.
- The device improves the efficiency of software testing work by dynamically setting the input element based on user interactions.
- It allows for quick and easy selection of input elements during software testing, reducing manual effort.
- The device adapts to changes in the screen layout by automatically adjusting the input element based on user operations.
- It streamlines the testing process by intelligently selecting the input element, enhancing overall productivity.
- The device enhances the accuracy of software testing by ensuring the correct input element is selected for testing purposes.
Potential Applications: - Quality assurance testing in software development - User interface testing for software applications - Automated testing processes for software products
Problems Solved: - Manual selection of input elements during software testing - Inefficient testing processes due to static input element selection - Difficulty in adapting to changes in the screen layout during testing

Original Abstract Submitted
The test support device includes: a first reception unit that receives input of a list of input value candidates for an input element to which a value is input, among elements constituting a certain screen related to software to be tested; and a setting unit that sets one of the candidates included in the list as the input element, wherein after an operation is performed on an operation element among the elements constituting the screen, the operation element receiving an operation indicating an execution instruction of processing, the setting unit sets the candidate, which is not set as the input element, as the input element. Accordingly, the efficiency of software testing work can be improved.
