Abstract: A method, system, and program for controlling the recording of a media program are provided. In response to detecting a match between a selection of program preferences and a particular program from multiple scheduled media programs, a communication with a user at a communication device is initiated to notify the user about the particular program. In response to receiving a request to record the particular program from the communication device, a recording of the particular program is controlled, such that at a location remote from a media program display device the user is enabled to initiate recording of programs likely of interest to the user. The multiple scheduled media programs may include, for example, television broadcast programs and internet broadcast video.

Abstract: A test automation facility for a data processing system is presented which relies on a browser application as a host environment. An initial file is loaded into a browser application window to create separate frames within the window, and the separate frames are used by the test automation facility for a variety of purposes. One of the frames contains a test automation facility interface with test case logic for verifying content, data, documents, or files received from a server. A server-side process, such as a filter servlet, can dynamically insert or modify a triggering element within a document that is sent to the test automation facility. When the browser loads the document containing the triggering element, the triggering element is interpreted to call a function that verifies contents of the document.
