  • Test effort estimator
    Patent number: 8230385
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for evaluating the test effort to be provided for functional testing during an application development project is disclosed. The major influencing parameters within testing applications in complex systems are used to compute a test case management effort and a defect effort, those parameters being scope, duration and product quality related, or organization related. A test effort consolidated measurement is generated and provided as a final summary report in a user-friendly format suitable for management analysis.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for the diagnosis of an ignition device of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6188224
    Abstract: The diagnosis of an open-circuit fault or of a short-circuit in an ignition system is effected by performing asynchronous periodic extraction of samples of current in a switch. A check is made to ensure the satisfaction of certain temporal conditions in respect to a moment of extraction of the samples and comparing the samples, on the basis of that the temporal conditions are satisfied, with predetermined fault threshold values.
