  • Patent number: 9239709
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for an interface certification and design tool. An exemplary embodiment is a computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the instructions operable to receive a selection of packaged software components. The set of instructions operable to generate a simulator default response for the software component, validate user changes to the simulator default response to create a validated test file, execute at least one simulator using the validated test file, and publish the validated test file.
