Abstract: A computing platform identifies one or more characteristics of a user accessing application software or a software service via a user interface and a field to be filled or completed in the user interface of the application software or a software service. The computing platform further determines and presents, at one or more automatic fill or completion modules that are stored at least partially in memory and function in tandem with one or more computer processors in the computing platform, a list of one or more completion candidates in the user interface of the application software or a software service at least by performing one or more incremental searches based in part or in whole upon the one or more characteristics. The field is then populated with a completion candidate from the list of one or more completion candidates.

Abstract: A method and system generate sample data set for efficiently and accurately testing a new calculation for preparing a portion of an electronic document for users of an electronic document preparation system. The method and system receive the new calculation and gather historical use data related to previously prepared electronic documents for a large number of historical users. The method and system group the historical users into groups based on which sections of a previous version of electronic document preparation software were executed for each historical user in preparing electronic documents for the historical users. The groups are then sampled by selecting a small number of historical users from each group.

Abstract: A method and system generate sample data set for efficiently and accurately testing a new calculation for preparing a portion of an electronic document for users of an electronic document preparation system. The method and system receive the new calculation and gather historical use data related to previously prepared electronic documents for a large number of historical users. The method and system group the historical users into groups based on the attributes of the historical users. The groups are selected to include groups dedicated to users with rare combinations of attributes, as well as groups for users with more common combinations of attributes. The groups are then sampled by selecting a small number of historical users from each group.
