  • Patent number: 10592369
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the automated testing of a system that includes software or hardware components. In some embodiments, a testing framework generates a set of test cases for a system under test using a grammar. Each test case may perform an action, such as provide an input to the system under test, and result in an output from the system under test. The inputs and outputs are then compared to the expected results to determine whether the system under test is performing correctly. Specifically, the system under test may be analyzed to determine whether it is capable of properly processing control instructions and input signals and/or generating expected output control signals and additional control/feedback information. The data can then be interpreted in the grammar system and/or used as input to a fault isolation engine to determine anomalies in the system under test.

  • Publication number: 20140101437
    Abstract: In one aspect, systems and methods for generating a set of certification requirements based on a defined role and certification level for a requesting entity are provided. A target set of certification requirements is organized according to a set of process areas that are applicable to one or more roles. Each process area is defined into a set of process area subgroups, which is further defined according to base practice objectives. Each base practice objective includes an identification of certification requirements. Each of the certification requirements may be applicable to a requesting entity based on the specified level of certification. In another aspect, an entity may request certification based on an evaluation of certification information submitted by the entity against a set of previously determined applicable certification requirements. The certification authority can utilize a variety of thresholds to determine whether certification is appropriate or what level of certification is appropriate.

  • Patent number: 8006136
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to automated testing of hardware and software systems. In some embodiments, a testing framework that generates a set of test cases for a system under test using a grammar is disclosed. The grammar may include terminal and nonterminal symbols with tags that describe a test sequence. The testing framework can use the grammar to generate a set of test cases. The testing framework can then receive feedback about the execution of the set of test cases from the system under test. In response to the feedback, the testing framework can generate a new set of grammars by automatically modifying or inserting tags in the original grammar. The new set of grammars can then be used to generate further test cases that intelligently explore the system under test for correctness, conformance, performance, security, or reliability.
