SIMPLIFYING DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A DISPLAY CONTROLLER PROVIDES VIDEO OUTPUT WITH DESIRED QUALITY
First Claim
1. A machine readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions causing a digital processing system to facilitate the testing of a display controller contained in said digital processing system, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in said digital processing system causes said digital processing system to perform the actions of:
- displaying a set of test cases designed to test said display controller;
enabling a tester to select a plurality of test cases and to provide a corresponding set of input parameters required for execution of each of said plurality of test cases, said plurality of test cases being contained in said set of test cases;
executing said plurality of test cases in a batch mode to cause video images corresponding to each test case to be displayed on a display screen, wherein said executing is performed after said tester selects said plurality of test cases; and
receiving a respective result input from said tester indicating whether the video output generated by said display controller for each of said plurality of test cases is of acceptable quality.

Abstract
An aspect of the present invention enables a tester (person) to specify multiple test cases of interest to test a display controller, and executes the test cases in a batch mode to cause the display controller to generate corresponding video output. The tester is provided the ability to specify whether the displayed video output corresponding to each executed test case is of desired quality or not. Due to such a combination of features, testing of the display controller may be simplified, efficient and reliable as well.

8. A digital processing system comprising:
-
a processor; a random access memory (RAM); a display controller to generate a video output for rendering on a display unit; and a machine readable medium to provide a set of instructions which are designed to be retrieved into said RAM and executed by said processor, wherein execution of said set of instructions by said processor causes said digital processing system to perform the actions of; displaying a set of test cases designed to test said display controller; enabling a tester to select a plurality of test cases and to provide a corresponding set of input parameters required for execution of each of said plurality of test cases, said plurality of test cases being contained in said set of test cases; executing said plurality of test cases in a batch mode to cause video images corresponding to each test case to be displayed on a display screen, wherein said executing is performed after said tester selects said plurality of test cases; and receiving a respective result input from said tester indicating whether the video output generated by said display controller for each of said plurality of test cases is of acceptable quality. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of testing a display controller provided in a digital processing system, said method comprising:
-
displaying a set of test cases designed to test said display controller; enabling a tester to select a plurality of test cases and to provide a corresponding set of input parameters required for execution of each of said plurality of test cases, said plurality of test cases being contained in said set of test cases; executing said plurality of test cases in a batch mode to cause video images corresponding to each test case to be displayed on a display screen, wherein said executing is performed after said tester selects said plurality of test cases; and receiving a respective result input from said tester indicating whether the video output generated by said display controller for each of said plurality of test cases is of acceptable quality. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
