The business process includes a plurality of process steps, and the test module comprises a plurality of test cases, a plurality of software test tools, and a plurality of parameters. The test module is configured to permit a user to select a particular process step of the business process, to select a particular test case for the particular process step, to select a particular software test tool for the particular test case, and to select a particular parameter flow for the particular software test tool. The test module is also configured to execute the selected process step using the selected test case, the selected software test tool, and the selected parameter flow.

Abstract: An IS monitoring approach is described that is capable of monitoring the availability of various software components. A further capability is that the availability of the individual software components upon which a specific business logic process depends may each be individually and continuously checked, in a combined fashion that is referenced to the specific business logic process, so that the status of the business logic process itself (e.g., operable or non-operable) can be continuously determined on an on-going basis. Moreover, operability or non-operability can be established over a wide range of different business logic processes on a process by process basis.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing network traffic routing optimizations. One computer-implemented method includes calculating a direct connection cost for network traffic between two points in a network, the network including one or more nodes of an accelerated application delivery (AccAD) network, calculating an AccAD connection cost for the network traffic between the two points in the network using at least one node of the AccAD network, comparing the calculated direct connection cost and the AccAD connection cost, and determining whether the direct connection cost is greater than the sum of the AccAD connection cost and a minimum cost threshold value.

Abstract: A mapping engine may be used to determine an attack model enumerating software attacks, the software attacks being represented by linked attack components, and may be used to determine a software architecture to be tested, the software architecture being represented by linked architectural components in an architecture diagram. The mapping engine may then associate each attack component and each architectural component with at least one attack tag characterizing attack requirements. A global test plan generator may be used to determine an attack test model, including associating attack components with corresponding architectural components, based on associated attack tags, and may thus generate attack test workflows from the attack test model, to thereby test the software architecture.

Abstract: In an example embodiment a sender report containing multiple rows and/or columns of information drawn from a data table may be displayed to a user of a machine. A user may select a portion of the displayed information. A sender adaptor may extract report-to-report selection criteria from the selected information. A receiver adaptor may identify other data tables where information related to the report-to-report selection criteria resides. If such information resides in multiple data tables, the receiver adaptor may join the multiple data tables into one or more data tables. The receiver adaptor may convert the report-to-report selection criteria into selection criteria for the identified data table(s) or joined data table(s). The selection criteria may be passed to a generic receiver report adapted to retrieve any information from any data table(s). The generic receiver report may retrieve information according to the selection criteria and display the information to the user.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to synchronizing dictionaries of acceleration nodes in a computer network. For example, dictionaries of a plurality of acceleration nodes of a client-server network can be synchronized to each include one or more identical data items and data identifier pairs. Synchronization can include transmitting a particular data item, or a combination of a data item and an associated data identifier, to another acceleration node which includes it in its dictionary. A particular acceleration node can, instead of transmitting a data item, transmit an associated data identifier to another acceleration node. As all (or a subset) of the acceleration nodes can have an identical dictionary when employing the methods described herein, the particular acceleration node can use the same dictionary to communicate with all (or the subset of) other acceleration nodes of the computer network.

Abstract: Methods and systems of navigating through process steps of a guided procedure are described. A plurality of process step identifiers may be caused to be displayed in a spiral formation in a graphical user interface of a device. Each process step identifier may identify a corresponding process step of a guided procedure. The process step identifiers may be displayed in positions along the spiral formation that reflect an order of their corresponding process steps in the guided procedure. User input may be received for one of the process steps of the guided procedure using the process step identifier that corresponds to the one of the process steps for which the user input is received. The plurality of process step identifiers may be caused to be rotated within the graphical user interface of the device.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for operating on type instances. One example method includes identifying a reference to a type instance during execution of a child control flow. The child control flow is associated with one or more ancestor control flows. One or more stack frames associated with the ancestor control flows are searched for a prior instantiation of the type instance. Access to the prior instantiation of the type instance in an identified stack frame associated with an identified ancestor control flow is provided in response to determining that the prior instantiation of the type instance exists in the identified stack frame. A new instance of the type instance is instantiated in a stack frame associated with the child control flow in response to determining that the prior instantiation of the type instance does not exist in the one or more stack frames.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a plurality of source records may be received from a plurality of data sources, with each source record including a plurality of fields. It may be determined that a match group of source records from different data sources relate to the same entity, and a single best record may be automatically created for the match group based on field values from different source records in the match group. The creating may includes, for example, assigning a first set of fields to a first survivorship group associated with a first survivorship rule and a second set of fields to a second survivorship group associated with a second survivorship rule. All records in the match group may then be simultaneously ranked in accordance with the first and second survivorship rules using a single query. The best record could then be stored for subsequent use by other applications.

Abstract: A data modeling platform allows a user to enter a search request using natural language (e.g., typed or spoken). The search request may be semantically parsed to provide mapping to various database search elements. Pre-existing data models may be identified from the database search elements. One or more new data models may be created from the database search elements. The results represent candidate data models in response to the user's search request.
