Patent ID: 8490046

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a correlation data structure from a memory, the correlation data structure indicating a plurality of expected test event triggers corresponding to a test case that includes a plurality of test events; executing the test case with a computer processor, the executing resulting in a plurality of resultant data structures stored in the memory, wherein the resultant data structures indicate one or more actual test event triggers occurred during the execution; generating a base key value corresponding to each of the resultant data structures; searching a scalar array for the base key values of the resultant data structures; in response to the searching finding a first set of one or more selected base key values: incrementing a counter corresponding to each entry of the scalar array corresponding to each of the first set of base key values; and in response to the searching failing to find a second set of one or more base key values: adding the second set of base key values to the scalar array; and initializing a counter corresponding to each of the second set of base key values in the scalar array.
