Publication number: 20210049221Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a functional documentation module are disclosed. A repository stores a list of URLs corresponding to one or more applications and a list independently executable programming languages for running an application. A receiver receives a request for creating a new URL. A processor causes a GUI to display selectable URLs from the list of URLs, selectable components from the list of independently executable programing languages, and a functional documentation; creates the new URL by selecting one or more desired URLs from the selectable URLs based on analyzing the functional documentation; independently tests only the created new URL for running the application without testing the selectable URLs and their underlying components; and updates the repository with the new URL based on a positive test result.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2020Publication date: February 18, 2021Applicant: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventors: Sudheendra AYYALASOMAYAJULA, Raghuram VUDATHU, David Christopher CAREY, Rajat TANDON, Kelly Patrick ERNST, Michael POLISE, Cameron BOUCHER
