Abstract: A system and method for use in assuring the quality of a web site are disclosed. The system and method are particularly directed to the quality assurance of a telephone directory web site that, in response to queries submitted by visitors to the web site, returns telephone listings including links to web pages relating to listed businesses or individuals. The system and method of the present invention allow a user thereof to easily access and view data records generated during periodic tests of the web site. Each record corresponds with a listing in the directory and includes at least one data field having data indicative of the outcome of a search verification test (e.g. a string code such as “OK”) and at least one data field having data indicative of the outcome of a link verification test (e.g. an HTTP result code such as “404”). A first interface, displayed by a client, provides for submission of search criteria (e.g.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for use in reconciling a first record, which may be selected from a plurality of first records, with a matching record included in a plurality of second records. The first records may comprise a first database and the second records may comprise a second database, or the first records and second records may comprise separate tables within the same database. A search of the second records for records possibly matching the first record is performed. The search may be performed by comparing data within progressively smaller sets of query fields comprised of data fields of the first record to data within corresponding progressively smaller sets of search fields comprised of data fields of the second records. For each pair of query and search field sets, the search generates a set of suggested matching records, which may be empty. The first record and the sets of suggested matching records are then displayed together on a first interface.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for automatically generating Internet formatted data files from nonInternet formatted data files. The present invention includes processing one or more directories selected by a user to locate and tag any files of a type to be converted. A file list is created and output as a spreadsheet type text file containing the file information for each file to be processed. Each located file is then converted into an Internet ready file format, and transferred to a chosen destination. The present invention allows for automatic generation of an Internet yellow page directory using nonInternet formatted customer advertising data files with significantly reduced production costs and likelihood of processing error.
