Publication number: 20230169516Abstract: In an example embodiment, a natural language processing (NLP) machine learning and rules-based text extraction and analysis approach is used to convert a textual service recommendation document into customer-tailored actions considering the specific context-based executable script. This creates end-to-end automation in implementing suggestions provided in textual documents. Actions mentioned in the document can be processed automatically whenever possible, or at least transformed into a semi-automated action with system support. The solution can be configured to automate end-to-end converting of documents into personalized technical scripts and implementing these scripts at the customer-side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Roman Rapp, Sunil Kumar Panda, Vinay Sheel, Jatin Kochhar

Publication number: 20150161029Abstract: Enterprise applications are disclosed that support various business processes that are associated with a set of test plans. In a test phase of the application management life cycle, such business processes can be tested by generating test plans. Test steps associated with a business process are received in a sequence at a user interface. The test steps include test activities. Scheduling information for the test activities is received at the user interface. Test systems are assigned to the test steps. The test steps are executed in the assigned test systems. Testers are assigned to the one or more test activities such that the test activities are executed by the assigned tester. A guided test procedure is generated based on the received test steps, scheduling information, assignment of test systems, and assignment of testers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: June 11, 2015Inventor: ROMAN RAPP
