  • System and method for automating the testing of software processing environment changes
    Patent number: 6823478
    Abstract: A system and method for automating the testing of processing environment changes are described. Input data having corresponding known-good output based on the processing of the input data in a first state of a processing environment is received by a comparison mechanism. The comparison mechanism processes the input data in a changed processing environment as compared with the processing environment in the first state. The comparison mechanism automatically evaluates the generated output against the known-good output to identify differences between the generated output and the known-good output. If no differences are found between the generated output and the known-good output, the comparison mechanism stores the generated output as the known-good output.
