Abstract: System and methods for software evaluation in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes: at a computer system, maintaining session information for a plurality of remote user sessions between one or more users and the computer system and formatting for display a plurality of graphical representations corresponding to the plurality of remote user sessions. A respective graphical representation in the plurality of graphical representations indicates a current or historical state of a corresponding remote user session, in the plurality of remote user sessions. The method further includes obtaining a user selection of a graphical representation in the plurality of graphical representations. In response to user selection of the graphical representation, a session is established between a client device associated with the user and the computer system and the session is initiated in the state as indicated in the graphical representation.

Abstract: A method for project collaboration includes: at a computer system, hosting a collaboration software application and a plurality of data sets associated with the collaboration software application; establishing a first remote user session between the computer system and a first client device running on a first operating system; wherein the first client device is associated with a first user; establishing a second remote user session between the computer system and a second client device running on a second operation system, distinct from the first operating system; wherein the second client device is associated with a second user distinct from the first user; merging the first remote user session and the second remote user session into a single remote user session; and enabling, using the single remote user session, the first user and the second user to concurrently control the collaboration software application and the plurality of data sets.
