Abstract: The disclosure herein describes generating test data based on a set of linked data nodes and associated data value rules. A plurality of data fields of a data structure is identified. A plurality of linked data nodes is generated based on the identified data fields, wherein each data node comprises a probability value and data value rules for generating data values for the data fields. Parent nodes of the linked data nodes are collapsed into associated child nodes to form combined data nodes. Test data values for the plurality of data fields are generated based on the combined data nodes and a data structure instance is populated with the generated test data values. The populated data structure instance is provided for use in executing tests. The generation of test data based on the data value rules of linked data nodes provides a realistic data environment for testing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for processing and/or validating data using a graphical user interface of a computer system. Embodiments may include arranging a plurality of nodes in a graph, where each node represents at least one processing step for processing data by a processor and wherein at least one of the plurality of nodes comprise at least one data retrieval node for retrieving data for validation. The method may also include establishing at least one output from substantially all of the plurality of nodes, except for the at least one data retrieval node, establishing at least one input to each of the plurality of nodes, configuring one or more parameters of each node, and linking at least one output of each of substantially all of the plurality of nodes to an input of another node, where each link representing a data flow.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting an electronic component device directly to a plug in board within an electronic product thereby eliminating differential movement between the mounting surface of a mounting bracket holding an electrical component device, and the plug in board to which the component device is attached during transportation or use. By eliminating differential/relative movement between the anchoring surface of the mounting bracket and the plug in board commonly found in conventional applications, the stresses generated by differential movement of the connection leads of the mounted component device, relative to the plug in board, and the concomitant potential for degradation of component device performance resulting therefrom, are eliminated.

Abstract: A bracket for mounting an optical component to a circuit board. The bracket comprises a bracket body member having a board contacting surface extending in a first plane defined along its board contacting side. A component mount is defined along the body member with a termination surface extending adjacent the board contacting side in a plane recessed from the first plane.
