Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable users to extract knowledge from testing scenarios performed during application development, and later employ that knowledge to interpret application usage scenarios to enhance serviceability of applications by expediting identification and solving of problems. In an exemplary embodiment, log data generated during simulation of test cases is analyzed to create one or more rules based on patterns in which one or more log entries appear in the log data. Later, log data may be analyzed to look for a pattern of log entries that matches a pattern-based rule, thereby facilitating faster identification and resolution of the problem.

Abstract: A processor receives a rule containing a first set of code statements. The processor compares the first set of code statements of the rule to a second set of code statements of a plurality of code statements of source code. The processor responds to a match of the first set of code statements of the rule and the second set of code statements of the plurality of code statements of the source code, by applying a weight modifier to the rule, which adds a weighted value to the rule, and the processor, in response to a second matching of the first set of code statements of the rule to the second set of code statements of the plurality of code statements of the source code, applies the weight modifier to the rule, which includes a weighted value, and the weight modifier adjusts the weighted value of the rule.

Abstract: Generating and authenticating a dynamic password. A first password string is received from a user. One or more string generation rules with corresponding reference character positions of the first password string are received. The first password string, the string generation rules, and the corresponding reference character positions of the first password string are associated with login credentials of a user. For authentication, a first password string associated with a user is received. A second password string is generated, based on a partial password string and one or more string generation rules, with corresponding reference character positions of the partial password string, all associated with the user. The first password string is compared with the second password string, and the user is authenticated if the strings match.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for managing product configuration files. In an embodiment, the method comprises the steps of receiving, by one or more processors, a document containing one or more annotations, wherein the one or more annotations are associated with one or more files; determining, by one or more processors, an annotation has been selected from the one or more annotations to access a particular file associated with the selected annotation; linking, by one or more processors, a storage location for the particular file associated with the selected annotation to the received document; and displaying, by one or more processors, content of the particular file associated with the selected annotation in the received document.

Abstract: Techniques for writing logging files, where the logging files include multiple pieces of logging information. The pieces of logging information are based on operation of a computer system. The writing of the logging information includes the following steps (not necessarily in the following order): (i) choosing a set of logging rules; which logging rules determine the selection of which pieces of operational information relating to the computer system will be written to a non-volatile log file; (ii) operating the computer system; (iii) during operation of the computer system, collecting a first set of pieces of operational information; (iv) saving the first set of pieces of operational information to a volatile buffer memory; and (v) writing only a first sub-set of the first set of pieces of operational information to a first log file.

Abstract: An expert system extracts events associated with executing an application from log files generated by various topological resources in a distributed computing environment. The events are plotted as plot points on a time series graph. Patterns are identified in the plot points that are associated with application problems, along with the computing environment configurations both before the problem and after the problem was resolved. The difference in the configurations represents a corrective action for the application problem, and the expert system links the corrective action to the pattern. When a pattern repeats in conjunction with another application problem, the corrective action is identified as a possible solution to the new problem. A confidence level associated with the pattern/corrective action may be increased when a user accepts the corrective action and may be decreased when a user rejects the corrective action.
