  • Generated object model for test automation
    Patent number: 8949774
    Abstract: A generated object model engine abstracts actions, used in test cases, in a manner to produce new object model types that are independent of an underlying code implementation. The generated object model engine analyzes action classes to aggregate a set of actions having similarly-related class types. Action classes having similarly-related class types are then used to form a new object model type. The new object model type may be used in a test case to hide the action's code implementation from the test case.
    Type: Grant

  • N-tiered applications support via common interface
    Patent number: 8141032
    Abstract: A development system is provided. The system includes a workspace component to visually display one or more model components. A separation component automatically segments the model components into two or more project components. A synchronization component can be provided to automatically update at least one of the project components in view of changes made to at least one other project component.

  • Categorizing images of software failures
    Publication number: 20070174816
    Abstract: Software failures are processed by categorizing images associated with the failures into groups based on similarities in the images. The categorizing of the images may be performed by a software failure analysis tool. The images may include full or partial screenshots of a computer at the time of the software failure. An image may be part of the output of a test, or may be part of a report of a software failure from an end user of the software. The software failure analysis tool may be part of a larger software test management system.
