Automated tool recipe verification and correction

A system for verifying a tool recipe, the method comprising the steps of:

• an interceptor for intercepting the tool recipe during an uploading of the tool recipe from a tool recipe creator or a downloading of the tool recipe from a recipe management system, wherein the tool recipe includes at least one parameter;
• a template determinator for determining whether an associated parameter verification set (PVS) template for the tool recipe exists;
• an audit determinator for determining, in the case that the associated PVS template exists, whether the associated PVS template includes at least one auditable corresponding parameter;
• and
• a verifier for determining whether to verify the tool recipe in the case that the associated PVS template includes the at least one auditable corresponding parameter, by:
• comparing each parameter having an auditable corresponding parameter to the auditable corresponding parameter of the associated PVS template to determine whether any non-matching parameter sets exist,
• verifying the tool recipe in the case that no non-matching parameter sets exist,
• determining, in the case that at least one non-matching parameter set exists, whether the parameter of all of the non-matching parameter sets are indicated as modifiable in the associated PVS template, and in the case that not all of the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets are modifiable, inhibiting verification of the tool recipe, and modifying, in the case that all of the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets are modifiable, all the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets to match the auditable corresponding parameter and verifying the tool recipe.

A program product stored on a computer-readable medium, which when executed, verifies a tool recipe, the program product comprising:

• program code for intercepting the tool recipe during an uploading of the tool recipe from a tool recipe creator or a downloading of the tool recipe from a recipe management system, wherein the tool recipe includes at least one parameter;
• program code for determining whether an associated parameter verification set (PVS) template for the tool recipe exists;
• program code for determining whether, in the case that the associated PVS template exists, the associated PVS template includes at least one auditable corresponding parameter;
• and
• program code for determining whether to verify the tool recipe in the case that the associated PVS template includes the at least one auditable corresponding parameter, by:
• comparing each parameter having an auditable corresponding parameter to the corresponding parameter of the associated PVS template to determine whether any non-matching parameter sets exist,
• verifying the tool recipe in the case that no non-matching parameter sets exist,
• determining, in the case that at least one non-matching parameter set exists, whether the parameter of all of the non-matching parameter sets are indicated as modifiable in the associated PVS template, and in the case that not all of the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets are modifiable, inhibiting verification of the tool recipe, and modifying, in the case that all of the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets are modifiable, all the parameters of the non-matching parameter sets to match the auditable corresponding parameter and verifying the tool recipe.
