  • Patent number: 11580012
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automated and objective testing of applications or processes. Graphical representations of the application may be analyzed to derive attribute data and identify flows (e.g., possible processing paths that may be accessed during utilization of the application by a user). Test cases may be automatically generated based on the attribute data and the identified flows. Additionally, testing scripts for testing the portions of the application corresponding to each identified flow may be generated using machine learning logic. Once generated, the testing scripts may be executed against the application to test different portions of the application functionality (or processes). Execution of the testing scripts may be monitored to generate feedback used to train the machine learning logic. Reports may be generated based on the monitoring and provided to users to enable the users to resolve any errors encountered during the testing.

  • Patent number: 11582351
    Abstract: A method and system for managing financial risk through the use of postpaid processing during use of wireless services is presented within the scope of the following invention. The present invention uses credit card authorization to pre-reserve credit card funds for wireless services in excess of planned usage. Authorizations eliminate the credit risk associated with overages and payment timing, and also maintain a customer experience identical to postpaid processing. The authorizations are invisible to the customer and no charge is brought to a customer's credit card until the monthly bill is settled. Separating the authorization and settlement stages of retail wireless payment processing allows the branded wireless provider to avoid inherent areas of credit risk during the tenure of a customer's wireless service, while maintaining a familiar customer experience.
