Abstract: Generating, from transactions performed at a production computing system, information that can be used to effectively test new, updated, and/or modified source code to be deployed within the production computing system. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes communicating with a production processing system to determine an initial state of the production processing system; capturing information about a plurality of transactions executing across a plurality of application servers included within the production processing system; communicating with a test processing system to deploy source code within the test processing system that is not included in the production processing system; generating a replay test script; and communicating with the test processing system to enable the test processing system to execute the replay test script.

Abstract: A system comprising at least one processor; and at least one storage device. The storage device(s) store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: determine an initial state of a production processing system, store the initial state, capture information about a plurality of transactions executing within the production processing system, configure, based on the initial state of a production processing system, a test processing system, deploy, within the test processing system, source code not included in the production processing system, generate, based on the information about the plurality of transactions, a replay test script, wherein the replay test script comprises a replay of the plurality of transactions, and wherein the replay test script further comprises transactions based on a new use case for the source code not included in the production processing system, and execute, within the test processing system, the replay test script.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically negotiating a device name for establishing a communications session between a host computer and a client computer are provided. A host computer receives from a client computer, a device name that includes as part of the device name at least a wildcard character. The host computer replaces the wildcard character with one or more characters that can be used in device names, to generate a unique device name that is not already being used by the host computer.
