Abstract
Example methods, apparatus and articles to test batch configurations are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes identifying, using a processor, an execution path through a batch configuration of a process control system, generating a test plan for the execution path, stimulating the process control system to execute the test plan, and recording a result of the test plan.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- identifying, using a processor, an execution path through a batch configuration of a process control system;
- generating a test plan for the execution path;
- stimulating the process control system to execute the test plan;
- and
- recording a result of the test plan.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a path discoverer to identify an execution path through a batch configuration of a process control system;
- a test plan creator to generate a test plan for the execution path;
- and
- a test plan executor to stimulate the process control system to execute the test plan, and record a result of the test plan.
1 more element
A tangible article of manufacture storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
- identify an execution path through a batch configuration of a process control system;
- generate a test plan for the execution path;
- stimulate the process control system to execute the test plan;
- and
- record a result of the test plan.
