Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology empower business domain experts to create “no-code” enterprise applications with a variety of features (e.g., workflow, multi-currency, etc.). By using the tools of various embodiments, the domain expert just has to know the business and not how to code in order to create enterprise applications. In some embodiments, the domain expert can access a tool that allows the domain expert to convey intent and desires instead of providing code. The intent and desire of the domain expert can then be abstracted, translated, and stored as a metadata representation. The metadata representation can then be used to automatically generate appropriate code artifacts for the applications. The code artifacts can include snippets of code written in a variety of languages. These code artifacts can then be wrapped, using a runtime engine for example, to create the application which can be distributed to the end-users.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with provisioning individualized application instances are provided. A request to render an individualized instance of an application may be received. A determination may be made based on the request as to whether a sparse metadata chunk exists for each of a plurality of user interface elements associated with the application. A sparse metadata application artifact may be generated for each user interface element for which a sparse metadata chunk is determined to exist. A base user interface chunk of metadata may be identified for each user interface element for which a sparse metadata chunk is determined not to exist. A base metadata application artifact may be generated for each identified base user interface chunk of metadata, and the individualized instance of the application may be caused to be displayed.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with testing custom application software are provided. An input that modifies an application action may be received. A request to execute a test action corresponding to the application may be received. One or more test steps for executing the test action may be identified. Each of the one or more test steps may be executed in a test framework utilizing test metadata. A determination may be made as to whether an unexpected result occurred during the execution of the one or more steps. If an unexpected result is determined to have occurred, a graphical representation of the unexpected result may be caused to be displayed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to automated tools for tracking, recording, restoring and auditing transactions. In accordance with various embodiments, applications and servers can provide a variety of features including, but not limited to, behind the scene monitoring activity (transaction or business) and recording, persisting client activity, ubiquitous autosave, business workflow and approval lifecycles, error correction at the business level, management of the state of the transaction without the user having to manage the activity, tracking posted and unposted transactions (e.g., business state), and the like. The applications can communicate with a unified transaction engine that combines awareness of database transaction state along with business transaction states.
