Hierarchical accumulated validation system and method

摘要

The present disclosure generally relates to improvements in validating control specifications and more particularly pertains to a system and method to hierarchically validate graphically based executable logic control specifications. This method may include identifying, by a processor for hierarchically validating a graphically based logic control specification, a functional hierarchy of a first application of the control specification comprising a first feature. The method may include executing, by the processor, a specific first feature test case on the first feature to at least one of validate a structure of the first feature and validate that a specific functional requirement of the first feature is met.

1. A computer-based method comprising the steps of:
identifying, by a processor for hierarchically validating a graphically based logic control specification, a functional hierarchy of a first application of the control specification comprising a first feature that comprises a first module, the first module being at a lower layer or level than the first feature, and the first feature being at a lower layer or level than the first application; executing, by the processor, a first module test case on the first module to at least one of validate a structure of the first module or validate that a functional requirement of the first module is met; executing, by the processor, a first feature test case on the first feature after executing the first module test case to at least one of validate a structure of the first feature or validate that a functional requirement of the first feature is met; and executing, by the processor, a first application test case to the first application after executing the first feature test case to validate a functional requirement of the first application is met.
