Abstract: In one example, a system is described in which a storage device, communicatively coupled to a processor, includes a file system management module. This file system management module may create a hierarchical organization directory that is a device and an operating system independent under a root directory in a namespace of a file system. Further, the file system management module may create a user directory under the hierarchical organization directory. Furthermore, the file system management module may create policy and configuration data for the user directory. In addition, the file system management module may store the policy and configuration data created for the user directory in the hierarchical organization directory.

Abstract: In one example, a system is described in which a storage device, communicatively coupled to a processor, includes an inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool. The inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may create a database including metadata associated with hierarchical organization directories and policy and configuration data files in a file system. Further, the inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may perform consistency check of one or more of the hierarchical organization directories, the policy and configuration data files and the metadata to detect inconsistencies. Furthermore, the inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may reconstruct one or more of the hierarchical organization directories, the policy and configuration data files and the metadata based on the outcome of the consistency check.

Abstract: A method and system for developing a software tool. The method comprises capturing analysis information generated by at least one software product and required for or useful in developing the software tool, forwarding the analysis information from the software product to a database, storing the analysis information in the database, querying the database for at least a portion of the analysis information, receiving the portion of the analysis information from the database in response to the querying, and developing the software tool with or by reference to the portion of the analysis information.
