Tomato Systems (CEO Gil-ju Cho), an artificial intelligence (AI) software and digital healthcare company, announced on the 11th that it has completed the registration of two patents related to the technology applied to its AI-based test automation solution, 'AIQBot.'
The newly registered patents relate to "a method and system for collecting and managing web page test information" and "a device and method for automatically testing web pages." These technologies are designed to automate testing tasks by automatically collecting and managing user events and UI information occurring in the web environment.
Traditional web service testing typically required testers to manually manipulate the user interface (UI) to identify errors or write separate code to create test scenarios. This process was time-consuming and costly, and it also posed a maintenance burden, requiring test scripts to be rewritten whenever the web source code changed.
To address these issues, iQbot automatically extracts various UI elements, such as buttons, input fields, and menus, from web pages and generates user events based on their attribute information. The generated test information is managed on a per-UI basis and is designed to allow reuse of existing test data even if the web page layout changes.
Additionally, it includes a feature that incrementally updates test data based on the website's menu structure and UI control information, automatically generating test cases tailored to the changed structure. This allows the test environment to be kept up-to-date relatively quickly, even if the web service structure changes.
This UI-based test information collection method aims to increase the reusability of test scenarios and reduce errors that can occur during automation. Consequently, it is expected to reduce the burden of test management and maintenance.
iQbot supports both static and dynamic testing, offering a variety of testing capabilities including code quality checks, standards compliance verification, and automatically generated test case execution. This is designed to enhance quality management efficiency not only during software development but also during operations and maintenance.
“As digital transformation expands, the importance of service quality management is growing,” said Gil-Joo Cho, CEO of Tomato Systems. “IQbot is a solution that has proven its performance in large-scale system environments in the financial and public sectors, and will be able to meet the demand for test automation.”
He added, “We plan to build an integrated automation environment that covers everything from development to testing through linkage with our own UI development platform, ‘eXbuilder6.’”
IQbot is currently being applied to various institutional projects, including KIDB, Heungkuk Fire & Marine Insurance, the National Pension Service, the Defense Information Agency, the Ministry of Education's NEIS, and the Korea Social Security Information Service, and its stability and usability are being verified.
Meanwhile, with the recent expansion of digital services in corporations and public institutions, the introduction of AI-based software test automation solutions is emerging as a key element of quality management strategies.
