Abstract: The nut-dispensing tool comprises a tube, a retaining block, and a spring loaded gas cylinder. The nut-dispensing tool may dispense a plurality of threaded nuts individually from the tube via a removal slot located in the retaining block. The plurality of threaded nuts may be pushed towards the removal slot by the spring loaded gas cylinder. An individual threaded nut may be removed by inserting a threaded stud member into the individual threaded nut via an end aperture of the retaining block, turning the threaded stud member to engage stud threading into nut threading, and lifting the individual threaded nut through the removal slot using the threaded stud member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a testing tool for testing of complex software systems having a plurality of interrelated system components and a suite of test scenarios for testing the performance of the plurality of interrelated system components. The testing tool includes an Automated Multidimensional Traceability Matrix system for determining linkages between interrelated system components, a means for identifying a change in one or more of the interrelated system components, a means for applying the Automated Multidimensional Traceability Matrix, a means for executing all of or a subset of the test scenarios associated with the interrelated system components that may be affected by the change and a means for evaluating the results of the executed test scenarios.
