Patent ID: 8117218

Claim:
An automated data mapping and analysis method comprising: receiving, at a processing device, test data from a plurality of test objects at a data storage facility incorporating a computer memory; selecting, for receipt by the processing device, a test environment and analysis parameters from a user interface; retrieving a portion of the test data from the data storage facility based on the selected test environment and analysis parameters; ensuring, with the processing device, the retrieved test data is in a common format; and analyzing the retrieved test data to generate, with the processing device, at least one of a trending profile, an overlay profile, and a maintenance profile for the test objects for the selected analysis parameter; wherein analyzing the retrieved test data to generate a trending profile comprises comparing test result data from at least one previously tested object under test to that of a current object under test, and wherein analyzing the retrieved test data to generate an overlay profile comprises displaying test result data from at least one previously tested object under test with respect to that of a current object under test.
