Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques for application quality testing time predictions are described that provide customized processing time predictions for application testing. Testing times for various stages of testing are collected during application testing. The collected testing data may be stored in association with various attribute values ascertained for the applications. The collected timing data is used to predict processing times for applications that match defined profiles. The profiles may be defined to include selected attributes and values used to identify applications having corresponding attributes and values. The collected timing data may be processed to derive predictions for processing times on a profile-by-profile basis. When a new application is submitted, the application is matched to a particular profile based on attribute values possessed by the application. Then, processing time predictions associated with the matching profile may be obtained, assigned to the application, and output for presentation to a developer of the application.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method comprising: conducting quality testing for applications submitted to a service provider for inclusion in an application store; collecting timing data for multiple designated stages of the quality testing conducted for the applications; storing the collected timing data in association with profile attribute values ascertained for the applications, the profile attribute values including at least an application type, number of…
