Abstract: A process for the preparation of optically pure R (?) salbutamol of formula (6) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts by using a (+) 4-nitro tartranilic acid as the resolving agent and a binary solvent system comprising alkyl acetate and C1 to C4 branched or normal chain alcohol for dissolution of the racemic mixture and resolving agent and purification of the 4-nitro tartranilic acid salt of R (?) salbutamol. 4-nitro tartranilic acid salt of R (?) salbutamol is converted into formic acid salt of R (?) 4-benzyl salbutamol followed by basification and debenzylation to form optically pure R (?) salbutamol. Optically pure (R)-salbutamol is obtained in good yield and high purity. The optically pure R (?) salbutamol is optionally converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Abstract: A method and system of a software development using visual action elements is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a user interface with action elements, and providing a mechanism for specification and review of the action elements using the user interface. For example, providing a user interface includes providing a prototype of the user interface in a web browser and providing a mechanism for specification and review includes providing a toolbar with functionality to record user comments regarding the action elements. The method may also include providing a user interface to document the user interface. The method may further include providing an animated view of stimulus response behavior of the action elements.

Abstract: A system monitors software development processes. In an embodiment, key components are identified in a requirements specification, verification rules are applied to delivered requirements, and entities is the requirements specification are validated. In another embodiment, a standard set of review types are generated, review checklists are generated, the review checklists are allocated, and review points are collected and tracked. In a further embodiment, a standard work break down structure and standard work products are defined, a high level plan is formed, and a planning template is formed. In another embodiment, the planning and tracking of a software development process and software product quality are stored in an integrated system, work products are reviewed, defects in the work products are recorded, and any defects are tracked until the completion of the software development process.

Abstract: A system and method for generating software documentation and training material within a software development activity are described. The system includes a software coding module. a user interface module; and a testing module for providing an integrated testing environment within a software development system. The testing module includes an automated documentation generation module for generating documentation for an application and related software modules and an automated software training generation module for generating user training materials for an application and related software modules. The automated documentation generation module and the automated software training generation module utilize software specification structure defining the application and related software modules.

Abstract: A system and method to perform planning and control/estimation for software modules within an automated development system are disclosed. The system has a software coding and testing module for defining and testing software applications, a software module database for maintaining software modules that may be part of software applications, and a software estimation module for estimating software development activity. The software estimation module comprises a release set estimation module and a function point analysis module.

Abstract: User interfaces created for software systems are used as the basis for gathering and/or disseminating requirements, behavioral specifications, review processes, and documentation. A computer readable medium is described, the medium having computer executable instruction to cause a system perform the method.
