Abstract: Automated quality control is provided in a document conversion system. A scanner scans and converts printed documents into digital data. A computer stores the digital data into one or more files which are then displayed on a monitor for view by an operator. The computer obtains from the operator an error count of conversion errors observed by comparing the printed documents scanned to the diplayed files. The computer calculates a conversion accuracy percentage based on the number of conversion errors.

Abstract: A test automation system (FIG. 1) comprises storage and process components connected by file interfaces. BPLAN (103) creates and stores test descriptions in test information database (102). Tests are stored in test storage hierarchy (100). BSYNC (104) completes test descriptions in database (102) from contents of hierarchy (100). BQUERY (105) examines descriptions and selects tests for execution. TESTLOCS file (106) identifies selected tests. BQUERY (105) uses BBC (118) to communicate requests for tests and test descriptions to other systems. BBCMON (120) causes BQUERY (105) to satisfy requests and uses BBC (118) to communicate responses to requesting systems. BDLOAD (107) gathers tests identified by file (106) from hierarchy (100) into file (117) for downloading from host (10) to target (11) processor. BRUN (109) executes download tests, collects test results in files (110-112), and reports result summaries. BULOAD (113) assembles files (110-112) into file (114) for uploading to processor (10).
