Nathan W. David 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
