DEFINING FEATURE VARIABLE CONFIGURATIONS THAT ENABLE ACCESS TO FEATURES OF A SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320126 titled 'DEFINING FEATURE VARIABLE CONFIGURATIONS THAT ENABLE ACCESS TO FEATURES OF A SYSTEM
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes a method and system for defining feature variable configurations in a software system. These configurations are generated by executing the codebase over test cases to test software feature behaviors. The system logs feature variable configurations, identifies associations between feature variables and software feature behaviors, calculates impact scores for these variables, and determines deterministic feature variables for individual software feature behaviors.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Method for defining feature variable configurations in a software system - Logging feature variable configurations generated by test cases - Identifying associations between feature variables and software feature behaviors - Calculating impact scores for feature variables - Determining deterministic feature variables for individual software feature behaviors
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in software development, quality assurance, and testing processes to optimize software feature behaviors and configurations.
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficiently defining feature variable configurations in a software system - Identifying associations between feature variables and software feature behaviors - Calculating impact scores for feature variables to prioritize them
- Benefits:**
- Improved software testing processes - Enhanced understanding of software feature behaviors - Optimization of feature variable configurations
- Commercial Applications:**
The technology can be utilized by software development companies to streamline testing processes, improve software quality, and enhance user experience.
- Prior Art:**
Prior art related to this technology may include research on software testing methodologies, feature variable configurations, and impact analysis in software development.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Stay updated on the latest advancements in software testing methodologies, feature variable configurations, and impact analysis in software development to enhance the application of this technology.
- Questions about Feature Variable Configurations:**
1. How does this technology improve software testing processes? 2. What are the key benefits of determining deterministic feature variables for software feature behaviors?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method and system for defining feature variable configurations in a system defined by a codebase has been developed. the codebase is executed over a set of test cases to test the software feature behaviors of a software feature. feature variable configurations including feature variables generated by the test cases are logged. associations between the feature variables and individual software feature behaviors are identified based on the logged feature variable configurations. impact scores for the feature variables associated with individual software feature behaviors are calculated based on an occurrence of the associations between the feature variables and individual software feature behaviors. deterministic feature variables are identified for individual software feature behaviors based on the calculated impact scores. at least one common feature variable is operable to enable access to the software feature in the system is identified from the deterministic features variables associated with the individual of software feature behaviors.
