Abstract: Provided are methods of determining success of a software process that includes multiple process operations, ones of which use multiple programs for execution. Such methods may include receiving a request to perform the software process. The request includes a process map that defines the process operations corresponding to the software process and process operation success criteria to determine the success or failure of ones of the process operations. The process operations are scheduled to be performed serial to one another according to the process map. Data corresponding to results of ones of the process operations is collected. Results of the data are evaluated to define whether the ones of the process programs executed successfully based on the process operation success criteria to determine if the software process is a success or a failure.

Abstract: A method for sniffing packets communicated over a network includes identifying an active protocol stack. Upon identifying an active protocol stack, a packet intercept is enabled for the identified active protocol stack. Using the packet intercept, data is then collected about the packets communicated over the network.
