Abstract: A system for performance testing a web application initializes to be instrumented a subset of methods of the web application to be tested in response to a request, and then tests the application based on the subset of methods. The system generates an instrumented call tree and corresponding stack traces for each request in response to the testing, and determines one or more methods that take longer than a predetermined time period to execute using the instrumented call trees and the stack traces. The system then determines additional methods to be tested and adds the determined additional methods to the subset of methods and repeats the testing.

Abstract: The present invention provides method and system for lateral scanning interferometry (LSI), which utilizes a reflecting reference element having a tilted angle for generating a tilted optical plane formed by wavefronts of a reference light so that interferometric patterns are acquired according to interferometric lights directed through an objective lens or an array of micro objective lens for analysis while the surface parts of the object enters the coherent range formed by the wavefronts of the reference light during lateral movement and a maximum signal intensity with respect to the acquired interferometric patterns can be obtained while the surface profile of the object has a zero or near zero optical path difference (OPD) with respect to the plane of wavefronts. The present invention is capable of reducing time cost comparing to the conventional vertical scanning interferometric method while enabling the system to be utilized for in-line (in-situ) measurement.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a hypertext-based outline for a report are described. A report definition specifying the contents and form of the report is received and evaluated to determine if any report definition statements contained in the report definition specify that a hypertext-based outline entry is to be generated. If so, then for each report definition statement specifying that a hypertext-based outline entry is to be generated, a hypertext-based outline entry is generated having a link to a location specified by the report definition statement.
