Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable storage media are disclosed that aid migration team members with migrating software applications from one platform to another platform, and more particularly, with tools that aid in migrating mainframe applications to a lower cost platform. The tools include legacy statistical generators that scan and analyze components of a mainframe application as well as the datasets associated with the mainframe application. The legacy statistical generators as a result of such analysis extract various statistical information regarding the application and datasets and provide such extracted information to a web-enabled application. Migration team members may use the web-enabled application to gain insight into the structure of the mainframe application as well as determine progress of migrating the mainframe application to the lower cost platform.

Abstract: A peer device has a proximity sensor that detects proximity to another object. Responsive to that detection, the peer device obtains a set of results that comprises results of different types of measurements. The set of results is sensitive to a location of the peer device and a time at which the measurements are performed by the peer device. The peer device configures itself to be discoverable by other peer devices. Responsive to wirelessly connecting with a target peer device that is also discoverable, the peer device determines an extent to which the obtained set of results matches a corresponding set of results obtained by the target peer device. Responsive determining that the sets of results respectively obtained by the devices match to a required extent, the peer device automatically transmits or receives application-specific data over an unauthenticated, non-persistent communication session between the peer device and the target peer device.

Abstract: A multi-staged method is disclosed in which a computing device generates tests to execute on an application program. The tests that are generated do not supplant or replace other types of testing typically executed on an application program, but rather, are generated based on the results of those tests and are intended to complement those tests. The multi-stage method particularly captures and stores information related to the tests as those tests are executed on the application program, verifies the data and parameters associated with the tests, and then generates a set of supplementary tests to test the application program responsive to receiving a notification message indicating that the program code of the application program has been changed.
