  • Method and system for generating test matrices for software programs
    Patent number: 7032212
    Abstract: Methods and data structures are disclosed for a program module (e.g., API) test matrix generator system/process. The disclosed methods and data structures facilitate and carry out a streamlined, yet logically thorough test to verify the proper operation and/or expose errors within the program module under test. The method comprises breaking a set of input parameters to the program module into clusters of related parameters (i.e., parameters whose values affect each other's validity regarding the output of the program module). Thereafter, a set of groups, representing different usages of a set of clustered parameters, are identified. After identifying the groups, a set of test calls (or a test matrix) is rendered for the program module. A covering set of test calls for a particular cluster comprises a sum of all logically/operationally distinct input value combinations rendered for each group.
