A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11983098B1) outlines a computer-implemented method for automated software requirements testing and sensitization to ensure consistent performance. The method involves retrieving modeling requirements of software specified as use cases for contract pricing, presenting models to the user, generating a tree graph model based on requirements and user selections, creating test paths to uncover bugs, and selecting test paths based on algorithms. The system then sensitizes the selected test path by inputting data values to simulate bug-free traversal and confirms expected outcomes.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for the automated software testing method and a computer-implemented system executing program instructions for the same purpose. These claims emphasize the importance of logical expressions, use cases, and program structures in the testing process. Additionally, the system is designed to verify complete path coverage for modeling requirements and store the tree graph model for configuration management. The method and system aim to enhance software testing efficiency and performance consistency through automated processes and sensitization techniques.
