Patent number: 10025838Abstract: A method for extract transform load (ETL) input suggestions for an ETL system in which a current job is being created. A method includes: determining when a new input is made in the current job in the ETL system and dynamically receiving the new input which includes a connection between stages input or a property of a stage input; updating stored information relating to the current job with the new input; accessing rules which apply to the current job; analyzing and applying the rules based on the new input and the current job stored information to generate one or more suggested next inputs in the current job; providing a weighting for the one or more suggested next inputs based on the analysis and application of the rules; and providing a prompt in the current job in the ETL system with the suggested one or more next inputs and their weightings.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Bangs, Leonard D. Greenwood, Arron J. Harden, Xiaoyan Pu, Julian J. Vizor

Patent number: 9767008Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system for generating one or more test cases for a service of a server system comprises at least one processor. The system analyzes metadata associated with the service to generate a schema definition for inputs and outputs of the service. A description of the service is generated in an application description language that refers to the schema definition. The system processes the generated description of the service to produce the one or more test cases. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for generating one or more test cases for a service in substantially the same manner described above.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Arron J.

Patent number: 9703849Abstract: Embodiments relate to integrating data transform test with a data transform tool. A method and system are described for creating a data transform test for a data transform job having a data transform script, the method includes determining all data transform units available in the data transform job, determining a subset of the available data transform units for a new test, and generating a subset test execution script for the subset of data transform units from the data transform script. The method further includes determining boundary test data at each boundary of the subset of data transform units, defining a data transform test, and saving the data transform test for later testing. The data transform test includes the subset of data transform units with subset test execution script and with boundary test data.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Leonard D.
