Abstract: Disclosed herein are a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for managing a plurality of data processing system executable tasks each having a script associated therewith. The data processing system includes a task selector for selecting, from the plurality of computer executable tasks, a selection of tasks, a script selector for selecting scripts, the selected scripts associated with the selected selection of tasks, and a script editor for editing the selected scripts, the edited selected scripts being executable by the data processing system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for testing accessibility of a data processing system program according to accessibility criteria. The data processing system program includes a plurality of objects, at least one object of the plurality of objects usable as a user interface between the data processing system program and a user. The data processing system implemented method includes identifying the at least one object of the data processing system program pertaining to the user interface, determining if the identified at least one object satisfies the accessibility criteria by examining an accessibility description for the identified at least one object, and producing an indication that the identified at least one object does not satisfy the accessibility criteria if the identified object does not contain an accessibility description.

Abstract: A method for serializing and deserializing program objects that is versioning sensitive. A program object is serialized into a persistent object by saving only those data fields that contain non-default data. The persistent object is deserialized to be used by a deserializing application by first creating a blank program object of the same version as the deserializing application and then populating it with the non-default data stored in the persistent object. The version of the deserializing application need not be the same as the version of the serializing application.
