Method, apparatus, and product for optimizing manufacturing tests by integrating part and test objects in the same order configuration application
First Claim
1. A method in a data processing system for optimizing manufacturing testing of a customized configuration of a product, said method comprising:
- defining, within an order configuration application, a plurality of part objects, each one of said plurality of part objects associated with one of a plurality of parts;
defining, within said order configuration application, a plurality of test objects, each one of said plurality of test objects associated with one of a plurality of test cases;
generating, using said order configuration application, order information using ones of said plurality of part objects that are associated with ones of said plurality of parts that are selected to be included in a customized product; and
generating test cases, using said order configuration application, using at least one of said plurality of test objects that is associated with said ones of said plurality of part objects.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and product are disclosed for optimizing manufacturing testing of a customized configuration of a product. A plurality of part objects are defined within an order configuration application. Each one of the part objects is associated with one of a plurality of parts. A plurality of test objects is defined within the order configuration application. Each one of the test objects is associated with one of a plurality of tests. The order configuration application is used to generate order information using the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product. The order configuration application is also used to generate test cases using the test objects that are associated with the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product.
