Abstract: In an embodiment, a method provides an input and an expected test output for a unit test. The unit test is executed using a module under test and the input, thereby generating an actual test output. The actual and expected test outputs are serialized into XML, so that comparison and extraction of differences between actual and expected test outputs can be performed using methods for comparisons and extraction of differences between XML documents, such as XML change detection or calculation of checksums.

Abstract: In an embodiment, data is captured in a first processor-based system. The captured data is serialized into an XML format. The XML-formatted data is transmitted to a second processor-based system, and the XML-formatted data is deserialized into a non-XML format. The deserialized data is processed on the second processor-based system to determine a cause of an error on the first processor-based system, and the first processor-based system or the second processor-based system is altered as a function of the processing of the deserialized data on the second processor-based system. The processing of the deserialized data on the second processor-based system relates to a support of the first processor-based system, and the first processor-based system is a production system and the second processor-based system is a test or reference system.
