Analyzing Test Case Failures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for categorizing test failures based on data sets corresponding respectively to the test failures, the method comprising:
- comparing the data set of a current test failure with data sets of historical test failures to produce failure correspondence values; and
categorizing the current test failure depending at least in part on the failure correspondence values.

Abstract
Apparatus and method for categorizing test failures are disclosed. In one embodiment, a data set of a current test failure is compared with the data sets of historical test failures to result in a set of correspondence values. The current test failure is categorized with respect to the historical test failures at least in part on the basis of the correspondence values.

9. One or more computer-readable media containing instructions for analyzing current test failures, the instructions being executable by a computer to perform actions comprising:
-
comparing data sets of a current test failure with corresponding data sets of one or more known test failures; generating failure correspondence values based on said comparing; determining whether the current failure is an instance of one of the known failures based at least in part on the correspondence values. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. One or more computer-readable media containing instructions for categorizing test failures based on data sets corresponding respectively to the test failures, wherein the data sets indicate attribute values, the instructions being executable by a computer to perform actions comprising:
-
comparing respective attribute values of the data set of a current test failure with corresponding attribute values of data sets of historical test failures to produce failure correspondence values; and categorizing the current test failure depending at least in part on the failure correspondence values. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
