Patent ID: 7287242

Claim:
An automated software re-testing method, comprising: dividing a modified application software into a first set of system classes that have been individually modified, and a second set of system classes that have not been modified since a last validation of software performance to a former software specification; grouping any dependent system classes that depend even in part from said first set of system classes into a first group, and any dependent system classes that arc independent of any of said first set of system classes into a second group; creating a test class for each system class of the second set of system classes; automatically creating regression test class for each test class; generating and running regression test constructors and destructors for a report of an operational conformance of said modified application software to a present superceding software specification; generating the report of the operational conformance of said modified application software by the regression test constructors and destructors; and calling a test by the regression test class for each test class to test the second set of system classes.
