  • Publication number: 20140157036
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a test case run analyzer may filter out failure events with known causes from a test report. The test case run analyzer may receive a test report of a test case run of an application process. The test case run analyzer may automatically identify a failure event in the test case run. The test case run analyzer may automatically compare the failure event to a failure pattern set. The test case run analyzer may filter the test report based on the failure pattern set.

  • Publication number: 20070192706
    Abstract: The present invention utilizes a service gateway as a communication intermediary between clients and service providers. The gateway can include a dynamic runtime cache. Clients can communicate with the service gateway using a polling methodology. When polled information is already in the cache, the information can be immediately provided to the clients. Otherwise, the information can be obtained by querying a service provider. Service providers can communicate with the gateway using a subscription methodology. Information updates relating to subscriptions can be pushed to the cache. Hence, the cache always contains current information. Thus, clients are able to remain loosely-coupled in a service oriented architecture (SOA) without the SOA suffering from scalability or latency issues, which occur in conventional SOA implementations as the number of clients increase.

  • Publication number: 20070071220
    Abstract: An IVR system may be designed by accepting designer inputs to generate, on a display screen, a flowchart of interconnected flowchart processing blocks and flowchart decision blocks that represent a process flow of processing steps and branches, respectively, in the IVR system. By allowing the designer to generate a flowchart of interconnected flowchart processing blocks and flowchart decision blocks on a single display screen, a potentially simplified graphical user interface may be provided for designing an IVR system. The flowchart of interconnected flowchart processing blocks and flowchart decision blocks may be executed, based on at least one designer input on a keypad image, to simulate or test the IVR system. A self-documenting audit trail may be provided during the design of the IVR system. These audit trails may be associated with a version of the IVR system, so that multiple versions of the system may be managed.

  • Patent number: 6224103
    Abstract: A powered landing gear drive system for a trailer for selectively extending and retracting the landing gear legs of the trailer. An electric motor is powered by a battery carried by a tractor or by the trailer and provides the power for an electric motor. A control system is provided as a security measure to permit limited, coded entry access to the system, and motor operating parameters are sensed to prevent exceeding operating limits of the system. The powered landing gear system can be provided as original equipment, or it can be retrofitted to existing trailers to permit powered landing gear operation.
