  • Publication number: 20110074574
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application graphical user interface (GUI). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application GUI can include loading a target GUI for an application under test in a functional testing tool executing in memory by a processor of a computing system, retrieving different translated source strings in a target spoken language for respectively different control elements of the target GUI and, determining a score for each one of the translated source strings. Thereafter, an alert can be provided in the functional testing tool for each translated source string corresponding to a determined score failing to meet a threshold value, such as a score that falls below a threshold value, or a score that exceeds a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20100114927
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for receiving a natural language query. The natural language query is parsed into a plurality of base concepts. One or more base concepts chosen from the plurality of base concepts is processed to define a selected report template. The selected report template is selected from a plurality of default report templates. At least one of the base concepts chosen from the plurality of base concepts is mapped to a data field within data via a mapping dictionary. The data includes a plurality of records. A query is executed on at least a portion of the data to identify a result record set. The result record set defines at least a portion of the plurality of records.

  • Publication number: 20090326997
    Abstract: A set of internal processes of a business entity can be identified. At least one compliance standard can be selected. Each compliance standard can include a set of required processes for compliance. The internal processes can be programmatically compared against the set of required processes for the compliance standard. Differences between the internal processes and the required processes can be determined. A compliance cost can be estimated based at least in part upon the determined differences. An expected benefit of satisfying the compliance standard can be determined as can an expected return on investment. When compliance standards change, new compliance standards emerge, and/or business factors of the entity change, data used in previous runs can be re-used. Data concerning internal processes of the entity can be reused when determining compliance costs/benefits for a different standard.
