Abstract: A set of streams of time series data is mapped to a corresponding set of drawing coordinates of an image, wherein a first stream of time series data in the set of streams of time series data comprises data of a first executing application component, wherein a first drawing coordinate in the set of drawing coordinates represents a first state of the first executing application component at a first time. The set of drawing coordinates is drawn, wherein a line between the first drawing coordinate and a second drawing coordinate represents a dependency between the first executing application component and a second executing application component.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for system monitoring. A computer system convert a time domain representation of first sound into a frequency domain representation, maps monitoring datasets of a monitored system to frequencies in the frequency domain representation, modifies the amplitudes of the respective frequencies according mapping rules defined by a user, convert the frequency domain representation into the time domain representation and generate a sound wave in a digital format which has modified amplitudes, converts the sound wave in the digital format to a sound wave in an analog format, and feeds the sound wave in the analog format to a sound system to play second sound. Performance of the monitored system is monitored by the user listening to the second sound and comparing the first and second sound.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for generating interactive in memory objects from stored program failure data. An anomalous condition related to a program failure is detected. Data is captured regarding the anomalous condition. The captured data is stored. The stored data is converted into at least one in-memory object. A runtime environment is reproduced about a region of code related to the program failure from the at least one in-memory object.

Abstract: An event associated with a viewable area of an encapsulated component that represents at least a portion of content associated with a user interface component is detected. A determination is made that the event will result in at least a portion of the viewable area of the encapsulated component being outside of a viewable area of the user interface component. The content associated with the user interface component is adjusted automatically to display at least the portion of the viewable area of the encapsulated component within the viewable area of the user interface component.

Abstract: A system and method for quickly and efficiently developing JUnit test cases by enabling automated creation of test environment objects that are needed by the JUnit test cases. The system and method maps and captures program code execution paths or “blueprints” such that the blueprints can be utilized to automatically “drive” the program along an execution path to any point in the program. These points can then be used to “harvest” the environment objects needed for JUnit test cases.

Abstract: An IO driver utilizes a slew rate boost circuit coupled to an IO driver circuit to improve the slew rate of the driver during transitions on the output of the driver. One or more additional output stages are coupled in parallel with a primary output stage of the driver, and are temporarily activated responsive to a transition in an input signal to the driver to effectively decrease the output impedance and boost the pull-up and pull-down time response characteristics of the driver during the transition of the output. The additional output stages are active only for a small part of a cycle, so the slew rate is thereby increased while the effective output impedance during most of the cycle is essentially unaffected.
