Abstract

An innovative rule based method and system for creating test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing of software systems is described. The user first inputs information as rules relating to the business logic of the system. After obtaining the business logic, the system will transform (220, 230, 240) the input test cases into output test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing. The system parses (220) the input test cases, and based upon the business logic identifies date, time, or duration dependent variables or constants ('date dependent fields') in the test cases. Risky dates, times, or duration are substituted for the corresponding date dependent field so as to preserve the business logic. The system can be adapted to handle any type of time change to the system, for example, when seven digit telephone numbers are replaced by ten digit numbers or various currencies are replaced by a single currency.
