  • Patent number: 11200067
    Abstract: An inter-object validation system includes a computing system that executes a specialized configuration application to receive an aggregated object configuration comprising a plurality of design elements (DEs) associated with multiple objects of a test system, and invoke each of multiple specialized configuration applications to determine whether at least a subset of the DEs in the aggregated object configuration meet a specified criteria associated with a behavior that the subset of DEs is to provide, the specified criteria associated with each specialized configuration application being different from one another. The specialized configuration application controller may then generate a report indicating the results of the determination. The execution of the specialized configuration applications is controlled by the specialized application controller, and additionally, the specialized configuration application is separate and distinct from the specialized application controller that controls the logic.

  • Patent number: 11106473
    Abstract: An integrated computing system configuration system includes a computer-based system that when executed, receives component definitions associated with physical components that are to be configured in a portion of a first sub-system of a first customized integrated computing system. Using the received component definitions, the system generates the first sub-system definition, which can be combined with a second sub-system definition to form a first integrated computing system. The system may also combine the first sub-system definition with another second sub-system definitions to form a second customized integrated computing system definition that is different from the first customized integrated computing system definition.

  • Patent number: 10958652
    Abstract: An integrated computing system configuration system includes a computing system that executes an application to receive, via user input, a request to provision a component of an ICS, and determine whether the component has been sanctioned for use with the ICS by comparing identifying information associated with the component with a plurality of sanctioned component records stored in a memory of the computing system. When the component has been sanctioned for use with the ICS, the application allows provisioning of the component, and when the component has not been sanctioned for use with the ICS, provisioning of the component is restricted.
