Abstract: A method of providing tailored add-on applications to an underlying foundational software suite that frequently receives updated versions that would otherwise overwrite changes in the foundational software that are required by the tailored add-on. Instead of functional changes to the foundation, the tailored add-on makes a fairly uniform and simple change in the place of each needed change, by inserting a call to an add-in definition object. The add-in definition object then contains code for performing the functionality needed by the add-on application. The add-in definition object is down-ported to all supported versions of the foundational software. The calls of the add-in definition object are integrated into the foundational software in a way which minimizes conflicts, allows for concurrent implementation while maintaining a clear separation between foundational code and modified code, and minimizes ongoing maintenance development of the add-on application's conflicts with the foundational application.

The method may further include transmitting a session-inactivation message to the server, wherein the session-inactivation message instructs the server to maintain the set of session data.

Abstract: A system, computer readable medium, and method for automatically testing computer objects affected by an update package. The exemplary method may compare computer objects/instances in an update package with those of the installed version of the computer application. A set of computer objects that have changed in the update package as compared to the installed version may be generated. The changes to each of the computer objects in the set of changed objects may be analyzed to determine if an automated test is related to the changed object. If an object has a related automated test assigned to it, the object may be placed in a separate list for testing. The automated tests of the changed objects in the separate list may be organized into a test plan. The automated tests may be executed according to the test plan. The system may have servers and computer processors to implement the method.
