  • Patent number: 11966217
    Abstract: A real-time control system includes a faulty variable identification technique to implement a data-driven fault detection function that provides an operator with information that enables a higher level of situational awareness of the current and likely future operating conditions of the process plant. The faulty variable identification technique enables an operator to recognize when a process plant component is behaving abnormally to potentially take action, in a current time step, to alleviate the underlying cause of the problem, thus reducing the likelihood of or preventing a stall of the process control system or a failure of the process plant component.

  • Patent number: 11892941
    Abstract: A self-learning automated application testing system automatically generates test scripts during the execution of an application using an automatic test script generator plugged into the application. The test scripts are generated by capturing event data of events emitted during the execution of the application. The test scripts are compared to the test scripts stored in a test script repository and those test scripts that are determined to be duplicates of the existing test scripts are discarded while the remaining test scripts are stored as new test scripts in the test script repository. An application tester runs regression tests on the application per the new test scripts and logs the results to a test results repository. A dashboard is also provided that enables a user to view and edit the test scripts from the test scripts repository, change configuration settings from a configuration repository, and view test results from the test results repository.
