Computer system diagnosis with user-developed procedure
First Claim
1. A method of performing diagnosis in a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving in a computer system executable program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to perform a first user-developed automated diagnostic procedure that either fails or passes depending on at least one condition in the computer system, the computer system having stored therein a program
1) that, when executed, performs a plurality of preconfigured automated diagnostic procedures and
2) that is configured to accept user-developed automated diagnostic procedures;
receiving priority information specifying an order in which the plurality of preconfigured automated diagnostic procedures is to be performed in the computer system, the priority information reflecting dependencies between the automated diagnostic procedures;
receiving user input to modify the priority information to specify where in relation to the specified order to perform the first user-developed automated diagnostic procedure; and
executing the program in the computer system after receiving the executable program instructions and the user input and in so doing performing the plurality of preconfigured automated diagnostic procedures and the first user-developed automated diagnostic procedure according to the modified priority information.

Abstract
A method of performing diagnosis comprises receiving in a computer system executable program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer system to perform a first user-developed automated diagnostic procedure that either fails or passes depending on at least one condition in the computer system. The computer system has stored therein a program 1) that, when executed, performs a plurality of preconfigured automated diagnostic procedures and 2) that is configured to accept user-developed automated diagnostic procedures. The program is executed in the computer system and in so doing the plurality of preconfigured automated diagnostic procedures and the first user-developed automated diagnostic procedure are performed.
