ANALYSIS ENGINE FOR AUTOMATICALLY ANALYZING AND LINKING ERROR LOGS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of analyzing an error log, comprising:
- receiving an error log including log data associated with an error;
parsing the log data to transform the log data into a standardized format;
automatically comparing the parsed log data to one or more previous errors obtained from error logs; and
if a match is found between the parsed log data and the one or more previous errors, then linking the parsed log data to at least one of the matched, previous errors.

Abstract
Test results can be analyzed and linked using an automated system. In a first embodiment, an error log can be received including log data associated with an error. The log data can be parsed to transform it into a standardized format to allow for easier searching and comparison. Once standardized, an automatic comparison can be made between the parsed log data and previous errors obtained from error logs. If a match is found between the parsed log data and a previous error, then the parsed log data can be linked to the previous error so as to generate a relationship between the two.

11. One or more computer-readable storage medium for executing a method for analyzing an error log, the method comprising:
-
receiving an error log obtained as a result of automatically testing an application; storing the error log in a library of log events; comparing the error log to error logs previously received; and if a match is found between the error log and a previously received error log, then linking the error log to the previously received error log that was matched. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for analyzing an error log, comprising:
-
a database library including stored previous errors that occurred; a parser for receiving the error log including a current error and transforming the error log into a predetermined standard format for storage in the database library; and a matcher for searching the database library and comparing information in the error log with the previous errors in order to determine if the previous errors are associated with the current error. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
