  • Generating a test suite to test support for routines
    Patent number: 8225285
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating a test suite. A statement grouping is generated based on operating parameters in a first operating parameters package. A data model is generated from the statement grouping based on operating parameters in a second operating parameters package. Then, one or more routine definitions are generated from the data model based on operating parameters in a third operating parameters package.
    Type: Grant

  • Computer software test coverage analysis
    Patent number: 7793267
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for performing software testing. A first set of traces is compressed to form a first set of compressed traces. The first set of compressed traces is compared to a plurality of additional traces to identify a set of partially matching traces within the plurality of additional traces. The first set of traces is compressed to form a second set of compressed traces. The second set of compressed traces is compressed according to a technique such that the second set of compressed traces contains more information than the first set of compressed traces. The second set of compressed traces is compared to the set of partially matching traces to identify a second set of partially matching traces within the set of partially matching traces. The second set of partially matching traces is placed in a memory.

  • Method to generate semantically valid queries in the XQuery language
    Patent number: 7680782
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for automatically generating a query. Data and occurrence is described using a sequence type. The data and occurrence from the sequence type are matched to a sequence type pattern. Sentences in a query language are generated automatically using the sequence type pattern for testing an ability of a query processing engine to interpret queries.
