  • Patent number: 10592369
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the automated testing of a system that includes software or hardware components. In some embodiments, a testing framework generates a set of test cases for a system under test using a grammar. Each test case may perform an action, such as provide an input to the system under test, and result in an output from the system under test. The inputs and outputs are then compared to the expected results to determine whether the system under test is performing correctly. Specifically, the system under test may be analyzed to determine whether it is capable of properly processing control instructions and input signals and/or generating expected output control signals and additional control/feedback information. The data can then be interpreted in the grammar system and/or used as input to a fault isolation engine to determine anomalies in the system under test.

  • Publication number: 20190342085
    Abstract: A blockchain or other cryptographic ledger platform with a keypair-based identity for issuance of tokens using machine readable indicia embedded within product packages and/or encoded external to the product packages. The platform generates blocks for a blockchain or other cryptographic ledger to record data relating to the product supply chain and token issuance and redemption.

  • Publication number: 20190036935
    Abstract: In one aspect, systems and methods for generating a set of certification requirements based on a defined role and certification level for a requesting entity are provided. A target set of certification requirements is organized according to a set of process areas that are applicable to one or more roles. Each process area is defined into a set of process area subgroups, which is further defined according to base practice objectives. Each base practice objective includes an identification of certification requirements. Each of the certification requirements may be applicable to a requesting entity based on the specified level of certification. In another aspect, an entity may request certification based on an evaluation of certification information submitted by the entity against a set of previously determined applicable certification requirements. The certification authority can utilize a variety of thresholds to determine whether certification is appropriate or what level of certification is appropriate.
