Abstract

Test results can be analyzed and linked using an automated system. In a first embodiment, an error log can be received including log data associated with an error. The log data can be parsed to transform it into a standardized format to allow for easier searching and comparison. Once standardized, an automatic comparison can be made between the parsed log data and previous errors obtained from error logs. If a match is found between the parsed log data and a previous error, then the parsed log data can be linked to the previous error so as to generate a relationship between the two.

First claim

We claim:

1. A computer-implemented method of analyzing an error log, comprising:
receiving an error log including log data associated with an error at an analysis engine;
parsing the log data to transform the log data into a standardized format by the analysis engine;
automatically comparing the parsed log data to one or more previous errors obtained from error logs using a matcher;
if a match is found by the matcher between the parsed log data and the one or more previous…
