  • Object oriented framework mechanism for performing computer system diagnostics
    Patent number: 5745675
    Abstract: An object oriented framework for diagnostic testing operates upon a user-defined diagnostic script to perform the desired tests. Certain core functions are provided by the framework, which interact with extensible functions. This separation of core and extensible functions allows the separation of the diagnostic application from the attributes of the test. A user may thus define extensible functions that allow the framework to test specific hardware and/or software without the framework having the knowledge of the specific tests being performed, or the results of those tests.
