Abstract: Concepts for acquiring information for identifying a security configuration for an application are proposed. In particular, the information is obtained by running the application in a development environment, detecting security requests made on behalf of the application, and then storing security information associated with the security requests in a security log. Using this concept, a security log may be obtained from which an appropriate security configuration may be determined.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for code coverage for test systems for testing source code. The method obtains a trace with trace records written at entry and exit to one or more test modules for function calls to the test modules. The method compares response codes for the functions extracted from the trace with a finite list of response codes retrieved from metadata for the source code for the functions and analyzes a code coverage based on the comparison.

Abstract: Tailoring diagnostic information specific to current activity of multiple threads within a computer system. A request to dump system state is received. A system dump is created, including main memory and system state information. The system dump is stored to a database. In response to a request to format the system dump, the system dump is loaded from the database, whereby a virtual memory image of system state at system dump time is created. The virtual memory image and system state information is scanned to identify tasks that were running, tasks that have failed due to an error, and tasks that were suspended at system dump time. State information and control blocks associated with the identified tasks are collected from the system dump and collated based on task number. The database is updated with a formatted system dump, including the state information and control blocks associated with the identified tasks.
