International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717153, 706 45

Abstract:

A system and method for generating a performance tool includes a builder, a seeker, and a catalyst. The builder is used to generate the seeker. The seeker is selected for operation, thereby launching the catalyst. The catalyst runs the seeker and receives assertions, such as selected answers, in response to interrogatives, such as questions. When all assertions are provided to all interrogatives, the seeker generates a yield. However, the yield also can be generated dynamically as the seeker operates.
