Abstract: A method of coordinating operation of a number of different modules in a computing system that includes: receiving, at a state machine of a module, publication of an occurrence of a number of triggering states at modules of the computing system to which a current state of the state machine is subscribed; in response to receiving publication of the occurrence the number of triggering states at modules of the computing system to which a current state of the state machine is subscribed, sending a request to a central supervisor for authorization to advance to a next state; and in response to receiving authorization from the central supervisor, advancing the state machine to the next state corresponding to the number of triggering states that have occurred.

Abstract: A test system accesses a test script. The test script is to test an application at a target screen resolution. The test system tests the application using the test script, and a current screen resolution of the test system is different from the target screen resolution. In the test, the test system initializes a system web browser to run the application, and in the test, the test system overwrites a size parameter of the system web browser to cause a content window of the system web browser to display application content at the target screen resolution instead of the current screen resolution.

Abstract: Identifying transport-level encoded payloads includes identifying transport-level encoded payloads from a recorded script in a display, determining multiple decoding option for at least one of the transport-level encoded payloads where the multiple decoding options includes a recommended chain, and displaying multiple decoding options with at least one of the transport-level encoded payloads.

Abstract: In some examples, a method includes accessing a test script configured to test an application at a target screen resolution and testing the application using the test script when a current screen resolution of the test system is different from the target screen resolution. The testing may include initializing a system web browser to run the application and overwriting a size parameter of the system web browser to cause a content window of the system web browser to display application content at the target screen resolution instead of the current screen resolution.

Abstract: A method for automatic revision of an automation script includes obtaining a sequence of at least one classified recorded action and an automation script, the automation script including a sub-sequence of the sequence of classified recorded actions, wherein each action is included in the automation script in accordance with the classification of that action. At least a portion of the automation script is executed. Upon failure of an action of the portion of the automation script to execute, an action of the sequence of classified recorded actions is reclassified, it is verified if the action that failed to execute executes successfully after the reclassifying, and the automation script is revised. Relating computer program product and data processing system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for generating a replayable testing script for iterative use by an automated testing utility may include recording a plurality of scripts, each script relating to a separate iteration of a transaction between a user and a tested application performed by an operator. The method may also include comparing the recorded scripts to identify a location of a data item by finding different values in a pair of corresponding locations in the recorded scripts, indicative of a dynamic data item. The method may further include generating the replayable testing script comprising one of the recorded scripts and having a variable parameter at the identified location of the dynamic data item.

Abstract: A method for identifying a push communication pattern includes creating clusters from a communication entity's response buffers. Clusters that meet a first criterion are detected. The communication entity is identified as having a push communication pattern upon a determination that the detected clusters meet a second criterion.

Abstract: A computer performs an action called for by a script. The computer determines how to perform the action based in part on a role template not included in the script and based in part on a role-template extension included in the script.

Abstract: Synchronization of an automation script can include determining an end event value for a step of an application based on an execution of the step, and synchronizing an automation script of the application using the determined end event value for the step.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for generating an automated testing script. A request for a performance evaluation of a computer program is accessed. Predetermined rules are used to determine which objects defined in the computer program should be triggered by a script executable by a testing application. The script is generated in accordance with the predetermined rules.

Abstract: Transport script generation based on a user interface script is disclosed herein. An example apparatus comprises a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor, the machine-readable instructions cause the processor to monitor network requests in response to execution of a user interface script. The processor is to modify a transport script based on the network requests by determining whether a first one of the network requests corresponds to a user interface script command of the user interface script, and, when the first network request corresponds to the user interface script command, inserting the user interface script command as a comment to the transport script.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a plurality of data conversion modules are bound to a processing engine and a first messaging data set is provided to a conversion module from the plurality of conversion modules.
