Patents by Inventor Mark Trumpler

Mark Trumpler 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).

  • Method of generating test scripts for systems having dynamic behavior
    Patent number: 6957420
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for testing applications that include non-deterministic behavior. The presently disclosed method generates test code for testing deterministic behavior of an application. When instances of non-deterministic behavior of the application being tested are encountered, the method provides acceptable alternate behaviors, such that the non-deterministic behavior can be effectively tested. The method may be implemented as a software test tool that utilizes a graphical programming interface to make the test generation simple and easy to use.
    Type: Grant

  • Analyzing an extended finite state machine system model
    Patent number: 6853963
    Abstract: A method of using a computer to analyze an extended finite state machine model of a system includes providing a graphical user interface that presents a table of rows, receiving data in at least one table row, and determining at least one path through the states and transitions of the extended finite state machine model using at least one of the rows in the table.

  • Component/web service data synthesis
    Publication number: 20040015865
    Abstract: The present invention provides data synthesis for a test sequence used to test methods of a software component. The present invention allows a wide variety of data types and forms to be synthesized in order to test the component. The present method generates parameter data and places it into a data table where each row of the table provides a single instance of that data for the method.

  • Run-time graphical programming tool for testing non-deterministic events
    Publication number: 20030046626
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for testing applications that include non-deterministic behavior. The presently disclosed method generates test code for testing deterministic behavior of an application. When instances of non-deterministic behavior of the application being tested are encountered, the method provides acceptable alternate behaviors, such that the non-deterministic behavior can be effectively tested. The method may be implemented as a software test tool that utilizes a graphical programming interface to make the test generation simple and easy to use.
