Abstract
Human rules and heuristics may be applied in a logic determination to promote relevance of an output for testing due to a changed object on an application. The output comprises an indication of one or more objects from a plurality of available objects that are to be tested due to the changed object on the application.
Claims15
A method, using a computer processor to execute instructions, stored in a memory, to perform the steps of:
- using a first and a second algorithm to apply human rules and heuristics in a logic determination to select an output for testing due to a changed object on an application, wherein the output comprises an indication of one or more objects from a plurality of available objects that are to be tested due to the changed object on the application:
- executing instructions to collect the one or more objects of the plurality of available objects as more useful than other objects of the plurality of available objects for notification to a user of the application in view of the changed object;
- and
- executing instructions to withhold the other objects from notification to the user of the application as unlikely to be tested, under the human rules from expert advice.

A method, using a computer processor to execute instructions, stored in a memory, to perform the steps of:
- receiving an identification of a change on an application, wherein the change comprises one or more changed objects on the application;
- employing the one or more changed objects in a first algorithm of a first iteration to search for other objects that directly use the one or more changed objects;

- an output of the first algorithm;
- a modified output of the first algorithm;
- or
- information that excludes an output, of the first, algorithm.
