Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are technical solutions to the existing technical problems in computer-implemented identification of anomalous events for distributed unstructured data existing in current supervised and unsupervised approaches. The anomaly detection system may use one or more unsupervised approaches that factor in small data sets using a volume-based time-invariant model. In some examples, in addition, a cross-category proportionality based model may also be utilized.

Abstract: Bugs/events that are reported by both users and the product are used to build an estimation model that relates the frequency/amount of received user bug reports to the number of products that are known to have the bug (as reported by the deployed products themselves.) This estimation model is then used to estimate the impact of bugs that are only discovered via user (i.e., free-form, unstructured) bug reports. In addition, the discovery of a bug via only user bug reports can be used to improve the data reported by the deployed products such that more information can be gathered about the nature and/or impact of the bug.

Abstract: A method and system in a computer system for generating an application-specific test script file. The application-specific test script file contains test instructions for testing an application program. The system receives a test template file that has test instructions that contain placeholders. The placeholders indicate where application-specific placeholder values are to be logically inserted into the test template file. The system receives an ordered list of customizing files that have application-specific placeholder values. The system then searches the customizing files according to the ordered list for a first placeholder value for each placeholder of the test instruction. When such a placeholder value is found, the system replaces the placeholder with the placeholder value in the test instruction and stores the test instruction into the application-specific test script file.

Abstract: A method and system for testing the interoperability of application programs. The interoperability testing system uses an application-independent test script and application-specific command scripts to test the interoperability of application programs. An application-independent test script contains a series of high-level application-independent commands that are to be performed to test the application programs. Each application program to be tested has a corresponding application-specific command script. An application-specific command script contains an implementation of each high-level command for the corresponding application program. To test application programs, the interoperability testing system executes an application-independent test script by reading each high-level command from the test script, retrieving the implementation of that high-level command for the application program that is to perform that command, and executing that implementation.
