Abstract: This invention discloses an automated software development system that includes an automated version control and evaluation processing platform for automatically evaluating a quality and value of a plurality of software changes and corresponding versions of a software system for automatically controlling an automated software development and change process of the software system. The automated version control and evaluation processing platform further includes a database for storing statistic and relevant data including the quality and value of the plurality of software changes and versions of the software system. The automated version control and evaluation-processing platform further applies the statistic and relevant data for automatically controlling an automated software development and change process of the software system.

Abstract: A method of binding elements of a structured document to an observer structure includes obtaining the logical structure of a document. Nodes representing information contained in the document are mapped to an observer structure which can include both a user interface or a programming object. The user interface may be a graphical user interface including a display form of a grid-like structure to contain the structured document information. The data binding which maps the structured document information to the observer form may be directionally controllable such that any change made to the information at the observer may be reflected in the source structured document.

Abstract: A system and method for transforming XML items is provided. The system includes a transformer that can selectively input XML items in a first format and selectively transform the input XML items to one or more transformed XML items in one or more second formats. The system also include an output manager that can be employed to facilitate selectively pulling and/or pushing a subset of the transformed XML items from the transformer to a variety of output destinations. The system provides an input abstractor that exposes data stored in data stores that implement the input abstractor as a data model and infoset, which facilitates navigating such exposed data.
