Abstract: Detecting stalling of a software process in a computer system includes receiving identification of a work process thread group, including a work process thread, for a task. The task is marked as running responsive to detecting whether there is a state change for the work process thread and is marked as stalled responsive to detecting an absence of the state change for a first predefined amount of time. The work process is marked as stalled responsive to detecting an absence of a predetermined signal from the work process for a second predefined amount of time. An API gets stack traces for the work process thread via calls. Instances of a hash are calculated for each of the stack traces. Respective instances of the hash calculated at least the first amount of time apart are compared for detecting whether there is a state change for the work process thread.

Abstract: Detecting stalling of a software process in a computer system includes receiving identification of a task thread group executing in a work process executing on a computer system. The task thread group includes one or more threads and the receiving includes receiving identification of the one or more threads by a control process executing on a computer system. The detecting includes detecting whether there is a thread state change for the task thread group, marking the task as running responsive to detecting a thread state change for the task thread group, marking the task as stalled responsive to detecting an absence of a thread state change for at least a predefined amount of time, and marking the work process as stalled responsive detecting an absence of a predetermined signal from the work process for at least a predefined amount of time.

Abstract: A resource link within a selected portion of an interface can be identified. The link can include a visible interface element and a non-visible reference to a resource. The reference can be a Uniform Resource Identifier. The identity of an application associated with the interface can be established. The identity can be an application or process identifier. The position/dimensions of the element within the selected portion can be determined. A screenshot image of the current state of the selected portion can be captured. The state can include a visual representation of the element. The position/dimensions of the element can be encoded within an image map. The encoding can map a bounded region surrounding the representation of the element within the screenshot corresponding to the element position/dimension of the link within the interface. The region can be associated with the identity of the application and the reference.
