Abstract: Modeling of the code elements and structure of a block of programming code enables code structure and flow to be visualized, eliminating language-specific aspects. One or more programming languages for which code is to be generated are selected. Code in the selected language(s) is generated from the functional model.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting parameter values and combinations of parameter values to use in connection with testing. A graphical user interface allows a user to graphically illustrate the importance of parameter values by drawing a probability curve for each parameter. The resulting curves are then converted to mathematical functions that are then combined into a combination function. The combination function is then evaluated for different parameter value combinations. The parameter value combinations that cause the combination function to exceed a predetermined probability value are selected for testing.

Abstract: A system manager tests, administers and monitors, and/or diagnoses problems with a distributed system having a plurality of computing machines. Each machine includes an event monitoring agent and the system manager comprises a data collection module (DCM), a data management module (DMM), a data storing module (DSM), and a user interface module (UIM). The DCM receives a request from the DMM describing performance data to be collected from each agent, and based on the request the DCM then collects such performance data from each agent and sends same to the DMM. The DMM stores the performance data at the DSM along with metadata corresponding to the request for current and future usage, including monitoring, analyzing and evaluation. The UIM receives requests from a user and forwards same to the DMM, and formats data from the DSM and represents the formatted data to the user.
