Abstract: An apparatus tests specific processing performed by plural computing machine resources provided by one or plural computers. The apparatus adds an instruction request command to request an instruction from the apparatus at a predetermined position in a source code of the specific processing performed by each computing machine resource, and generates the source code with an additional command.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a management apparatus that includes a first processor configured to store first information on an access token indicating that a right to call an application programming interface exists and second information on the application programming interface in a memory, and execute an exchange for a different access token by using the first information and the second information stored in the memory; and a client apparatus that includes a second processor configured to provide the application programming interface or use the application programming interface by utilizing the exchange for the different access token by the management apparatus.

Abstract: A memory holds a code pattern, a first template indicating a format of a program which defines that a system performs certain processing in response to a processing request, and a second template indicating a format of a program which sends the processing request to the system via a network. A processor generates, by acquiring a first program, detecting a first code matching the code pattern in the first program, and using the first code and the first template, a second program which defines that the system performs processing corresponding to the first code. The processor generates, by detecting a second code dependent on the first code in the first program and using the second code and the second template, a third program to be executed by another system different from the system.

Abstract: A relationship analyzing unit generates an assumed endpoint based on class relationship information. A log analyzing unit refers to the class relationship information and extracts noun-verb information from an access log, and an actual endpoint generating unit generates an actual endpoint by converting a verb in the noun-verb information into an HTTP method name and converting a noun therein into a path. A merge unit identifies an endpoint included in assumed endpoints generated by the relationship analyzing unit, as a specification endpoint, among actual endpoints.

Abstract: The biological particle counter has a first circuit configured to generate a first signal corresponding to fluorescence from the biological particle in response to irradiated light. A measurement value obtainer is configured to obtain, from the biological particle counter, a voltage value of the first signal for a calibration particle obtained in such a manner that a fluorescence agent infiltrates into a surface of a polystyrene particle. A circuit adjuster is configured to use reference data indicating a correspondence relation between a fluorescence agent parameter value correlated to the content of the fluorescence agent and a reference voltage value of the first signal corresponding to the fluorescence agent parameter value, thereby specifying the reference voltage value of the first signal corresponding to the fluorescence agent parameter value for the calibration particle.
