Abstract: A method and system for graphical analysis to detect anomalies in process objects. The method generates a graph to represent a set of process objects, applies a clustering algorithm to cluster like nodes of the graph, compares the clusters to the process objects, and, if the objects match the clusters, accepts the objects for further review or for use in applications. If one or more of the objects do not match the clusters, such suggests that there are anomalies in the process objects requiring correction. An example implementation may be to detect anomalies in the design of the process objects.

Abstract: A method and system to evaluate process objects for acceptability for use. New metrics that measure both object components and their relationships are used. The method selects metrics for the process objects that measure both the components and their relationships, compares measurements of the selected metrics with corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determines whether the process objects are acceptable. The system includes a memory to store metrics and process objects and a processor to select applicable metrics for the process objects, calculate the measurements of the selected metrics, compare the measurements to corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determine whether the process objects are acceptable.

Abstract: Flexible systems and methods are described that permit a development object to be tracked and moved through a development life cycle without the need to change hard-coded rules embedded in the development objects and tools themselves. An abstraction layer may be created that includes a status-action schema. The status-action schema may include action rules. Given the development status of a development object, an appropriate rule may be selected. The action rule may be applied to the development object to move the object to the next stage of the development life cycle. This may occur for more than one development objects and their associated development status(es). A configuration interface may be provided to aid in creating and updating the status-action schema.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring software based on the selection of extensions and/or business sets and functions by a user. IA method for configuring software based on the user selection of extensions includes presenting extensions for selection by a user and determining whether the user selection of the extensions is valid. The method further includes performing updates to source code based on the user selection of the extensions and compiling the source code corresponding to the selected extensions to generate a user-specific system.
