Abstract: Systems and methods for vessel position reporting and monitoring. Methods and systems for augmenting e-Navigation messages to provide ancillary information, such as a history of previous vessel positions. A compact representation is provided, in which transmitters may select among a plurality of possible position layouts to provide a compact representation. Transmitted messages are received by a satellite or other surveillance platform employing a compatible radio frequency receiver to collect message signals over a large area or great distance.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes displaying a graphical user interface configured to facilitate identification of one or more defects in a software instance, receiving data representative of at least one instruction via the graphical user interface to associate one of a plurality of defect severity levels each having one of a plurality of weighted values with each of the one or more defects, and generating a product quality index corresponding to the software instance and that indicates a quality level of the software instance compared to a substantially defect-free software instance. In some examples, the generation of the product quality index is based on the defect severity levels and the weighted values associated with the one or more defects.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes parsing data representative of an automated test case into at least one transaction defined in accordance with a global test language, translating the transaction into at least one command specific to an automated test tool, and providing the command to the automated test tool for execution. In certain examples, the method further includes parsing the data representative of the automated test case into at least one other transaction defined in accordance with the global test language, translating the other transaction into at least one other command specific to another automated test tool, and providing other command to the other automated test tool for execution.

Abstract: A software engine has a base system in communication with service subsystems and test subsystems. The base system, the service subsystems, and the test subsystems are software applications that exchange data with one another while operating within the software engine. In one exemplary mode of operation, the base system receives outputs from the service subsystems. In another exemplary mode of operation, the base system receives outputs from the test subsystems that simulate the outputs generated by the service subsystems. An exemplary method of testing the software engine is also provided. Specifically, the illustrative method includes receiving an output during a service mode, switching from the service mode to a testing mode, and receiving the simulated output during the testing mode. The method steps may be performed by a computer executing instructions stored on a computer-readable medium.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes displaying a graphical user interface configured to facilitate identification of one or more defects within a software instance, receiving data representative of at least one instruction via the graphical user interface to assign a severity risk value, an impact risk value, and a likelihood risk value to each of the one or more defects, and generating a defect risk factor corresponding to each of the one or more defects that indicates a risk level of each of the one or more defects, the generating based on a combination of the severity risk value, the impact risk value, and the likelihood risk value corresponding to each of the one or more defects.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of test environments, each test environment being configured to simulate user actions according to a test configuration. The system may further include a test simulator device including a processor in selective communication with the plurality of test environments and configured to receive a user action; send the user action to a first of the plurality of test environments having a first test environment; and send the user action to a second of the plurality of test environments having a second test environment.
