EXTRACTION OF PROBLEM DIAGNOSTIC KNOWLEDGE FROM TEST CASES

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention enable users to extract knowledge from testing scenarios performed during application development, and later employ that knowledge to interpret application usage scenarios to enhance serviceability of applications by expediting identification and solving of problems. In an exemplary embodiment, log data generated during simulation of test cases is analyzed to create one or more rules based on patterns in which one or more log entries appear in the log data. Later, log data may be analyzed to look for a pattern of log entries that matches a pattern-based rule, thereby facilitating faster identification and resolution of the problem.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
identifying a first set of log entries generated during a first execution of an application code in a first scenario, wherein each log entry in the first set of log entries corresponds to a set of lines of code in the application code; creating a first rule based, at least in part, on a first order of the first set of log entries, wherein the first order is based on a first chronology; associating the first rule with a first information describing the first scenario, wherein the first information includes a list of aspects of the application code tested during the first execution; identifying a second set of log entries generated during a second execution of the application code in a second scenario; and determining the second set of log entries partially satisfies the first rule; wherein:
at least associating the first rule with the first information describing the first scenario is performed by computer software running on computer hardware.
