Abstract: Described are techniques for determining a qualification status of a device in a system. An occurrence of a trigger event for the device is determined. The trigger event is caused by an occurrence of any of a time-based event, a performance-based event, a usage-based event, and an unscheduled event. A user notification is provided to perform a first action responsive to the occurrence. The first action is an action to perform any of a maintenance activity, a repair activity, and a test for the device. The qualification status of the device is updated in accordance with said first action. Also described are techniques for more generally determining a compliance status of a device where the compliance status may be related to any one or more of qualification, verification, validation and/or calibration of the device.

Abstract: Described are techniques for testing an application. A test script including one or more instructions is received to test an application. A user interaction with a user interface of the application is emulated. Emulating includes executing a first portion of instructions in the test script. An output is received including information displayed using the user interface in response to the user interaction. Verification processing is performed for the output. The verification processing includes executing a second portion of instructions in the test script. A first instruction in the test script references a user interface data element without specifying a complete path for the user interface data element.

Abstract: Described are techniques for performing qualification protocol testing. A qualification entity category is selected indicating a category of an entity for which a qualification test protocol is generated. One or more qualification tests are selected and included in the qualification test protocol. Test information is specified for the one or more qualification tests. The test information includes first information identifying one or more code modules executed to perform said one or more qualification tests, second information identifying test inputs to said one or more code modules, and third information specifying how to evaluate tests results from executing each of said one or more qualification tests. A qualification protocol structure including said test information is generated.
