Patent number: 10748116Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that help automate the generation of a test vector. Every functional product, be it a service, device, or combination thereof, has one or more documents associated with it. These documents may include such documentation as: (1) Release Notes; (2) Configuration Guides; (3) command line interfaces (CLIs)/application program interfaces (APIs); (4) Data Sheets; (5) Installation Guides; (6) User Manuals; (7) Errata notices; and (8) other documentation. In embodiments, command data-models and ranges and sequence of valid inputs to the data-model are extracted from natural language expressions in documentation related to a specific product. In embodiments, this extracted information is used to generate one or more table of attributes and properties or constraints about which a test vector may be generated for testing a command.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: Sachinrao Chittaranjan Panemangalore, Vinay Sawal, Vivek Dharmadhikari, Kuntal Atulbhai Patel, Gavin Richard Cato, Joseph LaSalle White

Patent number: 9805717Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a more universal, easy, natural, and vendor-agnostic interface to configure, manage, and/or monitor devices in networks. In embodiments, a user-friendly natural language interface voice interface may be used to “live chat” with one or more devices. In embodiments, a natural language input from a user intended for a target device is received and converted into one or more properly formed commands that are target-specific for the target device and may be executed by the target device. In embodiments, results from the execution of the one or more commands may be appropriately formatted for presentation to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS LPInventors: Sachinrao Panemangalore, Vinay Sawal, Vivek Dharmadhikari, Kuntal Patel, Gavin Richard Cato
