Latest Patents
Thorpe holds a patent for "Automated integration testing with mock microservices." This invention focuses on automated software-testing systems and computer program products that employ mock software entities to conduct integration testing on microservices-based applications. The mock entities simulate the behavior of other microservices or external software applications that would typically interact with the tested microservices in a production environment. The management of these mock entities is handled by a mock server, which communicates with the test system through a messaging system. The mock server determines the responses of the mock entities based on test guidelines stored in a behavior store. During testing, the test system dynamically updates the behavior store in response to the application's service requests and other indicators of its current state. If the application interacts with the mock entities as expected, it is deemed to have passed the integration test. Thorpe's innovative work in this area has led to the granting of 1 patent.
