Abstract
A system for creating a system configuration data set includes an input operable to receive a set of system properties with attributes and values and a set of expressions representing a set of system test goals. The system further includes a processor operable to define a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents one of the system properties and includes at least one of the attributes and the values and an output operable to output a set of system test data utilizing the hierarchical tree structure combined with the expressions. A method includes creating a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents a system property. The method further includes receiving a set of expressions representing a set of system test goals and creating a set of system test data utilizing the hierarchical tree structure combined with the expressions.

21. A method of creating a system configuration data set, the method comprising:
-
creating a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents a system property and includes at least one of an attribute and a value; receiving a set of expressions representing a set of system test goals, wherein the set of expressions includes at least one preference expression that defines at least one of testing knowledge, testing experience, and testing beliefs; creating a set of system test data utilizing the hierarchical tree structure combined with the expressions; receiving at least one bias value and at least preference value; associating the at least one bias value with the at least one preference expression; and associating the at least one priority value to the at least one preference value. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method of creating a system configuration data set, the method comprising:
-
creating a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents a system property and includes at least one of an attribute and a value of the system property, wherein at least a set of nodes in the plurality of nodes are at on a first level of the hierarchical tree structure, wherein each node in the set of nodes represent at least one of hardware and software components of a system, and wherein each node in the set of nodes comprises a set of child nodes on a second level of the hierarchical tree structure, wherein each child node comprises the at least one of the attribute and the value of the system property of the system; receiving a set of logical expressions representing a set of system test goals; and creating a set of system test data based on the hierarchical tree structure combined with the set of logical expressions.
