Patents by Inventor Glenn Everitt

Glenn Everitt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11954014
    Abstract: An automated system is presented for unit testing an application in a mainframe execution environment. A plurality of stub objects reside in the mainframe execution environment, such that each stub object in the plurality of stub objects represents a different stub type. A command translator table is configured with an entry for each command available for an online transaction processor. Each entry in the command translator table specifies a stub type for the command and includes a listing of possible arguments associated with the given command, such that each possible argument in the listing of possible arguments has a specified category type. A test configurator executes in the mainframe execution environment and is configured to receive and parse a test input file. A setup routine interacts with the test configurator to receive records from the test input file.

  • Patent number: 10990515
    Abstract: An automated system is presented for unit testing an application in a mainframe execution environment. The system includes a test configurator, a stub setup routine and an interceptor routine. The test configurator is configured to receive and parse a test input file, where the test input file includes a record for a particular file accessed by the application using the given type of file system. Upon reading the record, the test configurator calls the stub setup routine. The stub setup routine is associated with the given type of file system and creates an object for the particular file in the mainframe execution environment, such that the object is instantiated from a class representing the given type of file system. The interceptor routine is accessible by the application. In response to a given command issued by the application for the given type of file system, the interceptor routine operates to interact with methods provided by the object.
