Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for intelligent automation of computer software test scripts and code requirements. A server generates a baseline test script for a plurality of browser-based applications with a sequence of action steps having one or more empty user interface component values. The server performs a first execution of the baseline test script against each of the browser-based applications to extract one or more expected values associated with user interface components that correspond to the empty user interface component values, and stores the expected values. The server performs a second execution of the baseline test script against the browser-based applications to extract one or more actual values associated with user interface components that correspond to the empty user interface component values. The server compares the actual values against the expected values, and if the values do not match, the server generates a message indicating a test failure.

Abstract: Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for personalizing media content. A server determines content data likely to be requested by users, and generates common sets of information using the content data. The server receives a request for a digital media stream from a client device, and generates a first set of frames which include content data specific to the user and keys corresponding to a selected common set of information. The server combines the first set of frames and the requested stream to generate a personalized stream. The server transmits the personalized stream to a downstream device, which generates a second set of frames using content data corresponding to the one or more keys. The downstream device combines the second set of frames and the personalized stream to generate an updated stream, and transmits the updated stream to the client device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for intelligent automation of computer software test scripts and code requirements. A server automatically scans code files to identify changes made to the code files. The server selects test automation script files that are related to the changed code files. The server parses each selected script file to determine whether the script file includes changes that correspond to the changes made to the related code files. If the script file includes the corresponding changes, the server determine whether a current version of the script file is located on each of one or more test servers and installs the current version of the script file on each test server that does not have the current version. If the script file does not include the corresponding changes, the server transmits a message to a remote computing device to indicate that the script file requires the corresponding changes.
