Abstract: Mechanisms allow a user to test a BPEL process by simulating partner Web services. To simulate the partner Web services, a development environment is extended to include an intermediate component that intercepts messages intended for a partner Web service and displays those messages in a testing user interface. In the testing user interface, a user can create and send messages in direct response to the messages invoked while executing the BPEL process. The development environment may also include an alternate deployment descriptor, as part of a BPEL engine. The alternate deployment descriptor identifies where a message should be routed. For example, the alternate deployment descriptor lists the address of the intermediate component, rather than the actual partner Web service address, so that messages can be redirected to the testing user interface.

Abstract: A method for software development that includes receiving, by a computing resource broker, a request to perform a software development operation on a software program using a computing resource, wherein the request is from an integrated development environment (IDE) used to develop the software program, obtaining an authentication protocol for the computing resource from a repository managed by the computing resource broker, authenticating with the computing resource using the authentication protocol, wherein the computing resource broker is authenticated to use the computing resource, sending a request to perform the software development operation to the computing resource, receiving a result of performing the software development operation from the computing resource, and sending the result to the IDE, wherein the result is displayed to a developer of the software program.

Abstract: A low-level process, which was mapped from a high-level graphical notation diagram, is debugged using the high-level graphical notation diagram. To debug the low-level process, a debugging interface allows a user to set and track breakpoints and other debug events from the high-level graphical notation diagram. When a breakpoint or other debug event is encountered during low-level processing, the high-level graphical notation diagram is updated to show the status of the low-level process.
