Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for loading data in connection with testing an application, based on a hierarchical framework. An exemplary method includes receiving a data query from a requestor, identifying a dependency of the data query on a data structure, and determining whether said data structure is annotated with a poor quality indicator. The exemplary method further includes providing a warning to the requestor when the data structure is annotated with the poor quality indicator, thereby informing the requestor of a potential quality issuer with a report relying on the data structure query.

Abstract: A trend analysis computing device is provided. The computing device includes a receiver to receive online data, a trend determiner to determine a trend that is presently happening based on a word or a phrase included in the received online data, a processor to compare the determined trend with a dictionary database of the user to determine if the trend is of interest to the user, and, in response to determining the trend is a trend of interest, add additional data to the trend of interest based on the dictionary database, an analyzer configured to analyze the trend of interest, the added additional data, and user interest data, and generate impact data that the trend of interest is having on the user interest data, and a transmitter to transmit the impact data to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for use in geolocation analysis. In one exemplary method, a computing device accesses boundary definitions associated with regions. For each region, the computing device determines a centroid of the region, having a location including a latitude and a longitude, based on an associated boundary definition, truncates the centroid location by deleting the latitude or longitude, and stores the truncated location as a partition key for the region. The computing device also accesses a transaction record, including a merchant point location having a latitude and longitude. The computing device truncates the point location by deleting the latitude or longitude, and identifies regions associated with the partition keys based on a comparison of the truncated point location to the partition keys. The computing device then determines whether the point location is included in one of the identified regions.
