1. A computer implemented method for implementing a set of tests, the method comprising:
- receiving an order for at least one test;
determining a workflow for the at least one test based on one or more events or results, the workflow including one or more rules, the rules indicate one or more testing conditions, the one or more testing conditions indicating if at least one follow-up test is to be executed;
automatically executing the received at least one test;
receiving a result of the executed at least one test;
analyzing, by a computer processor, the result to determine whether the 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 without additional interaction from an entity the order for the at least one test is received from, anditeratively 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.

10. A computer implemented method for implementing a workflow for tests, the method comprising:
-
receiving an input; based on the received input, deriving at least one test; determining a workflow for the at least one test based on one or more events or results, the workflow including one or more rules, the rules indicate one or more testing conditions, the one or more testing conditions indicating if at least one follow-up test is to be executed; automatically executing the at least one test; receiving a result of the executed at least one test; analyzing, by a computer processor, the result in order to determine whether the at least one follow-up test needs to be executed for responding to the input without additional interaction from an entity the input is received from; 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 are dependent on a respective result of a respective predecessor test.

11. A computer implemented system for implementing a set of tests, the system comprising:
-
a reception unit to receive an order for at least one test; an execution unit to execute the received at least one test by means of a test machine; a rules module to determine a workflow for the at least one test based on one or more events or results, the workflow including one or more rules, the rules indicate one or more testing conditions, the one or more testing conditions indicating if at least one follow-up test is to be executed; an analyzing module to receive a result of executed at least one test and adapted for analyzing the result in order to determine whether the at least one follow-up test needs to be executed; an iteration unit to generate an order for an at least one follow-up test without additional interaction from an entity the order for the at least one test is received from, 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 (12)
