Abstract
A computer-implemented method of processing a document provides a user with a plurality of nested test modes for creating, reviewing and retrieving a plurality of different document configurations represented by different document data sets. The nested test modes are activated upon user request and a starting data set of the document is stored on a memory and restored after leaving the test mode. By nesting a plurality of test modes, the user can create a plurality of different configurations of a document and easily retrieve the data of every one of these configurations.
Claims28
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- activating, in response to a user request, a first test mode of a document having a document data set;
- automatically storing a first test mode data set of the first test mode wherein said first test mode data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said first test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of new data;
- activating, in response to another user request, a second test mode;
- automatically storing a second test mode data set of the second test mode wherein said second document data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said second test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of other new data;
- restoring the second test mode data set in said document upon leaving the second test mode;
- and
- restoring the first test mode data set in said document upon leaving the first test mode where said method provides a plurality of nested test modes for creating, reviewing and retrieving a plurality of different document configurations based on different document data sets.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- activating, in response to a user request, a first test mode of a document having a document data set;
- automatically storing a first test mode data set of the first test mode and a test mode identifier for said first test mode data set wherein said first test mode data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said first test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of new data;
- activating, in response to another user request, a second test mode;
- automatically storing a second test mode data set of the second test mode and a test mode identifier for said second test mode data set wherein said second test mode data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said second test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of other new data;
- restoring the second test mode data set in said document upon leaving the second test mode;
- and
- restoring the first test mode data set in said document upon leaving the first test mode where said method provides a plurality of nested test modes for creating, reviewing and retrieving a plurality of different document configurations based on different document data sets.

A computer system comprising:
- a memory having stored therein a nested test module;
- a processor coupled to said memory wherein upon execution of said nested test module by said processor generates a method comprising:
- activating, in response to a user request, a first test mode of a document having a document data set;
- automatically storing a first test mode data set of the first test mode in said memory wherein said first test mode data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said first test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of new data;
- activating, in response to another user request, a second test mode;
- automatically storing a second test mode data set of the second test mode in said memory wherein said second test mode data set is said document data set at the time of said activating said second test mode;
- changing data in the document data set in response to input of other new data;
- restoring the second test mode data set in said document upon leaving the second test mode;
- and
- restoring the first test mode data set in said document upon leaving the first test mode where said method provides a plurality of nested test modes for creating, reviewing and retrieving a plurality of different document configurations based on different document data sets.
