Abstract

A test data system includes a first computer system that has an electronic logbook. Test results are entered into the electronic logbook by the user/test person. The electronic logbook contains the e-mail address of a logbook program in a second computer system. The test results are forwarded by e-mail to the logbook program, which parses the test results and formats them for the entry in a test results database of a test management system. A test management system program is run to update the test results database with the test results and sends confirmation and/or any error messages back to the user at the first computer system.
