Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated discovery and analysis of test management domain assets. A method for automated discovery of test management domain assets includes crawling different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts and locating test management artifacts in the different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts. The method also includes selecting for each located test management artifact an analyzer configured to process test management artifacts of a type consistent with a type of the located test management artifact. Finally, the unified repository can be queried to produce a result based upon test management artifact data stored in the unified repository, though the test management artifact data had been located in the different, remotely disposed repositories of test management artifacts.

Abstract: An automatic-switching wireless communication system and method, comprising: a first device, and a second device. The first device verifies if said second device has paired with itself through using near end wireless communication. If an answer is positive, the second device connects with the first device by near end wireless communication and requests first device to activate remote end wireless communication. Then, second device searches to find a remote end wireless communication module of the first device. In case it is found, the first device is used as a wireless base station, such that the first device and the second device transmit data by remote end wireless communication, and the second device is connected to an outside network through the first device. If the second device is outside a range of the near end wireless communication of the first device, said remote end wireless communication module is closed automatically.

Abstract: A set of user-configured testing parameters for a software application under test can be received by a test execution plan generation tool. At least one testing objective for the software application can be defined by user-configurable testing parameters. A test execution plan can be automatically generated utilizing the user-configured testing parameters and a predefined test execution plan data model. The predefined test execution plan data model can include testing metadata representing software testing domain data for a software testing system being used to evaluate the software application under test. The testing metadata can specify details of finite shared resources of a test center shared by all projects under test. The generated test execution plan can detail specific allocation of the finite shared resources dedicated towards at least one phase of testing the software application to satisfy the at least one testing objective for the software application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application graphical user interface (GUI). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application GUI can include loading a target GUI for an application under test in a functional testing tool executing in memory by a processor of a computing system, retrieving different translated source strings in a target spoken language for respectively different control elements of the target GUI and, determining a score for each one of the translated source strings. Thereafter, an alert can be provided in the functional testing tool for each translated source string corresponding to a determined score failing to meet a threshold value, such as a score that falls below a threshold value, or a score that exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A system and method for self-piercing riveting including an alignment mechanism comprising laser diodes and sensors for facilitating alignment of a rivet gun and a back-up located on opposite sides of sheet metal parts to be joined, and an oscillation piercing technique for reducing force loads on structures, particularly robotic structures, carrying the rivet gun and the back-up.

Abstract: A resistance welding apparatus having a pair of programmable ball electrodes carried on universally movable positioners. The positioners are programmed to move the ball electrodes simultaneously along a seam line so that the ball electrodes clamp and support opposite sides of a pair of stacked workpieces and are electrically charged to form resistance seam welds along the seam lines to connect the workpieces.

Abstract: A non-contact fusion welding apparatus has a pair of programmable clamps carried on universally movable positioners. The positioners are programmed to move the clamps sequentially along a laser weld path so that the clamps, engage and support opposite surfaces of the pair of workpieces at respective selected locations during the weld process to insure intimate and continuous contact between the workpieces along the entire length of the laser weld site.

Abstract: A method of spot welding a sheet overlapped to a tube with a servomotor-driven electrode applying a clamping force to the sheet. Over a first clamping time interval, the clamping force is increased to a first force level, at which point a welding current is applied to weld the sheet and tube together for a welding time interval. The first force level is maintained for a second clamping time interval, after which the clamping force is reduced to a second force level over a third clamping time interval and is maintained for a fourth clamping time interval. The welding current is removed upon expiration of the welding time interval and the clamping force is simultaneously reduced over a fifth clamping time interval, after which the electrode is disengaged from the sheet. The reduction in clamping force during the welding cycle reduces cracking of the spot weld.
