Latest Patents

“Optimizing Transaction Data for Load Testing” describes a system that uses test scripts, transaction forecasts, and an iteration calculator to determine how often different transactions should run during a load test. The approach accounts for transactions that are forecast to occur less frequently than a basis transaction, using a randomized calculation to decide whether each should execute.

“Enterprise Integration Test Tool” presents a system for load testing an integrated enterprise computer system based on forecasts of transaction volume and transaction mix. It uses an application list to identify which front-end applications participate in testing, then generates a test data file for scripts to use in simulating system activity.

Career Highlights

Burbidge’s patent portfolio reflects a focus on enterprise software testing and the practical challenge of reproducing expected transaction patterns. His inventions describe ways to use forecasts to make load tests more representative of anticipated system demand.

Collaborations

Burbidge’s listed coworkers include David W. Dankenbring and Kevin R. Niederhauser. His work is associated with Sprint Communications Company L.P.

Conclusion

Theodore A. Burbidge III’s patents address forecast-driven load testing, helping define methods for generating transaction data and evaluating integrated enterprise systems under simulated demand.
