US Patent 7610578 Test manager for integrated test environments

Methods are provided to automatically generate, distribute and execute code locally and remotely. The test may therefore be performed using the automatically distributed code. Automated parameter mapping may be provided to couple parameters applicable to a test step with the test step. A test step in the test may therefore automatically include the coupled parameters. Data storage may be performed using a multidimensional parametric space. Each point in space may contain arbitrary nonscalar data which define an individual data workspace. These points can also be plotted against each other and overlayed to aid in visualization of multi-dimensional data.
