Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include a method, which includes receiving, by a processor, data from one or more communicatively coupled objects associated with a device. The method further includes providing, by the processor, context information to the received data. The method further includes mapping, by the processor, the context information associated with the received data to one or more nodes of a knowledge graph. The method further includes diagnosing, by the processor, a problem with the device, based on knowledge graph information.

Abstract: A method includes generating a test model based on at least one of test group dependencies and test group constraints and generating a resource base. The method includes generating a cost model and generating a resource allocation plan based on the test model, the resource base, and the cost model.

Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive data including defect analysis defect analysis starter (DAS)/defect reduction method (DRM) defect analysis data of a software development project and process the data. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to determine one or more business metrics based on the data and generate at least one report based on the one or more business metrics. The one or more business metrics comprises at least one of a benefit for shifting defect removal earlier, a benefit for preventing an injection of defects, a benefit for reducing a cycle time, a benefit of reducing invalid defects and a benefit for reducing production defects.

Abstract: A method includes creating a macro plan for a test project, creating a micro plan for the test project, wherein the micro plan and the macro plan are based on at least one common parameter, and reconciling the macro plan and the micro plan by identifying deviations between the macro plan and the micro plan based on the at least one common parameter.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for analyzing a change request of a project that involves an IT system, where IT system contains IT artifacts that have predefined relationships. One or more processors obtain a change request; use information contained in the change request to select an applicable decomposition agent; use information in the selected decomposition agent to decompose the change request into a set of component sub-change requests; correlate at least one of the sub-change requests with one of the IT artifacts; and display the sub-change requests. In alternate implementations, selecting the applicable decomposition agent may require additional user input.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for indexing a document database includes determining, according to user's access status on a plurality of documents in the document database, index indicators from attributes of respective fields of the plurality of documents, wherein the index indicators are used for indexing the plurality of documents, dividing the plurality of documents into a plurality of document sets, indexing the plurality of document sets according to the index indicators. The method may include dividing a plurality of documents in a document database into document sets by utilizing an attribute that a document database is easy to be divided into chunks, and may effectively implement indexing of the document database for the document sets according to another embodiment.

Abstract: One or more problems may be detected in an executing application by retrieving runtime execution information from the application executing on one or more computers. The runtime information is transformed into a temporal sequence of events. A knowledgebase is searched for a dialog that has nodes in an order that match the temporal sequence of events according to a threshold degree. Responsive to finding the dialog in the knowledgebase, the dialog is launched on a user interface to interact with a user and guide the user through a problem identification and solution. Responsive to not finding the dialog, additional instrumenter is enabled in the application.

Abstract: A method for managing application patterns. Service application programming interfaces required for use by an application on a runtime platform are provisioned. The application is based on an application pattern. Deployment information for deploying the application on the runtime platform is generated. The deployment information includes values for properties of the application pattern for configuring the application on the runtime platform. The deployment information is used to deploy the application on the runtime platform. In response, the runtime platform runs the application with the application using the service application programming interfaces previously provisioned for use by the application on the runtime platform.

Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive one or more risk factors, receive one or more contexts, identify one or more context relationships and associate the one or more contexts with the one or more risk factors. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to map the one or more risk factors for an associated context to a software defect related risk consequence to determine a risk model and execute a risk-based testing based on the risk model to determine a defect related risk evaluation for a software development project.

Abstract: A compute-implemented method and apparatus for assisting release planning, including steps of: obtaining remaining requirements that are expected to be included in a current release plan; obtaining the release plan, which comprises a set of planned requirements that are already included in the release plan and a set of release constraints; determining that there is a conflict between the release constraints and the planned requirements; rendering, in response to this determination, a proposal to create a modified release plan that is a function of the remaining requirements and of the current release plan; and forecasting, as a function of the remaining requirements and of the modified release plan, whether the addition of another requirement to the release plan would create a conflict with the release constraints.
