Patent number: 7191326Abstract: A computerized method and system for testing a function of an information-processing system. This includes providing an architecture having a set of test commands, the test commands including a set of one or more stimulation commands and a set of one or more result-testing commands, and defining a set of test verbs out of combinations of the test commands. This allows the test programmer to define an overall test program that uses the test verbs in writing a test program that specifies an overall function that will extensively test a system-under-test. The methods further includes executing a program that includes a plurality of test verb instructions and outputting a result of the program. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a computer-readable media that includes instructions coded thereon that when executed on a suitably programmed computer executes one or more of the above methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2005Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: TestQuest, Inc.Inventors: Michael Louden, Francois Charette, Ryon Boen

Publication number: 20040081346Abstract: A computerized method and system for non-intrusive testing of an information processing system. This includes stimulating a system-under-test, capturing an image from the system-under-test visual output and one or more of the following: converting the captured image to a grey-scale bitmap, deriving pixel patterns from sub-portions of the captured image, normalizing the derived pixel patterns, scoring pixels in a pixel pattern according to color intensity, comparing pixel patterns with graphical object definitions, and finding and outputting matches taking into consideration tolerances for color, resolution, object spacing and overlap, and font kerning variation. The output is optionally a text string representing the recognized text within the captured image. The method and system also automatically learns new graphical object definitions when appropriately provided with graphical objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2002Publication date: April 29, 2004Applicant: TestQuest, Inc.Inventors: Michael Louden, Theron Weisz, Benjamin Music, Peter Lehman, David Haggerty

Patent number: 5056053Abstract: The computing machine includes an array of programmable elements programmably interconnected to implement networks of algebraic functions. Each element provides a sufficient set of logic primatives in the algebra that may be a Boolean algebra. The elements and the interelement wiring support the communications requirements of large classes of problems and preferably of all problems. The algebraic transform machine offers highly concurrent operation but avoids many of the programming difficulties of existing concurrent systems. The machine is regular in structure; it extends to large size and capability, and operates at high speed. In one embodiment, the machine consists of a grid of segments and each segment holds the value (true or false) of a Boolean variable. Crossing segments do not connect directly but the value on one wire segment can effect the value on another. The effect of one segment on another is programmable.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1990Date of Patent: October 8, 1991Assignee: The Mitre CorporationInventors: W. Worth Kirkman, T. Michael Louden
