Patent number: 11631020Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for estimating validation time that use an estimation of the amount of data fulfilling a rule or a set of rules. This estimation method may be more accurate because it considers how much data will match the rule versus how much data can be discarded. The disclosed systems and methods give visibility into how much time a rule set validation will take and how long the computer system will be unavailable due to the rule set being evaluated. This allows users to make better decisions about whether and when a rule set should be evaluated, and/or whether and how to modify implementation of the rule set.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Gajanan Chinchwadkar, Navendu Misra, Sam Hamilton, Juharasha Shaik, Durga Kala, Ram Miryala
