1. A computer implemented method for implementing a set of tests, comprising the following steps:
- receiving an order for at least one test;
automatically executing the received at least one test;
receiving a result of the executed at least one test;
analyzing the result in order to determine whether at least one follow-up test needs to be executed and if yes;
automatically generating an order for the at least one follow-up test and iteratively executing the steps for the at least one follow-up test.

Abstract
The invention refers to a computer implemented method, a computer system a test machine and a computer program product for executing conditioned and qualified test. An ordering instance may order a set of tests, comprising an initial test and a set of follow-up tests, wherein the execution of each of the follow-up tests is dependent of the result of the respective predecessor test, like the initial test. The conditions for executing the follow-up tests are dynamically definable and are analyzed automatically.

11. The computer implemented method for implementing a workflow for tests, comprising the steps:
-
receiving an input; based on the received input, deriving at least one test; automatically executing the at least one test; receiving a result of the executed at least one test; analyzing the result in order to determine whether at least one follow-up test needs to be executed for responding to the input; for the at least one follow-up test iteratively executing the steps;
automatically starting, receiving the result, analyzing, thereby implementing a workflow as a result-based cascade of tests, wherein a respective test might be dependent on a respective result of a respective predecessor test.

12. A computer implemented system for implementing a set of tests, comprising:
-
a reception unit for receiving an order for at least one test; an execution unit for automatically executing the received at least one test by means of a test machine; an analyzing module, adapted for receiving a result of executed at least one test and adapted for analyzing the result in order to determine whether at least one follow-up test needs to be executed. an iteration unit for automatically generating an order for an at least one follow-up test, in case such a follow-up test needs to be executed and forwarding the order for the at least one follow-up test to the reception unit. - View Dependent Claims (13)
