ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the invention is a computer-implemented method that (i) launches a diagnostic tool designed for use with a primary software application, (ii) determines whether a diagnostic definitions file (DDF) needs to be updated, (iii) updates the DDF, if needed, (iv) performs one or more of the diagnostic tests specified in the DDF, (v) determines whether the result produced by each performed diagnostic test is equivalent to the expected result for the performed diagnostic test, and (vi) performs the failure action specified for each performed diagnostic test whose result is not equivalent to the expected result for the performed diagnostic test. The DDF has information specifying: (i) the one or more diagnostic tests, (ii) an expected result for each diagnostic test, and (iii) a failure action to be performed for each diagnostic test, if the result produced by the diagnostic test is not equivalent to the expected result.
