Abstract: A method and system for evaluating performance of software applications. Steps in a first software application within a first web site are mapped to respective similar-function steps in a second software application within a second web site. Measures of performance of: each mapped step in the first software application, the respective similar-function steps in the second software application, and other steps in the second application are determined. A measure of performance of the first software application is determined, based on the measures of performance of each mapped step in the first software application. A measure of performance of the second software application is determined, based on the measures of performance of the respective similar-function steps and the other steps in the second software application. Improved performance is obtained for the and/or first software application by utilizing the measure of performance of the first and/or second software application, respectively.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating performance of software applications of different web sites. Steps in a first software application of a first web site are mapped to respective similar-function steps in a second software application of a second web site. The mapping for each step in the first software application includes associating both each step in the first software application and the respective similar-function step in the second software with a respective task. Measures of performance of each mapped step in the first software application and measures of performance of the respective similar-function steps and of other steps in the second software application are determined and included in a report. A measure of performance of the first software application and a measure of performance of the second software application are included in the report.

Abstract: An example of a solution provided here comprises: (a) collecting data from a production environment, utilizing a plurality of probes; (b) performing calculations, regarding availability or response time or both, with at least part of the data; (c) outputting statistics, resulting from the calculations; and (d) performing (a)-(c) above for a plurality of applications, whereby the applications may be compared. Another example comprises: receiving data for a plurality of transaction steps, from a plurality of probes; calculating statistics based on the data; mapping the statistics to at least one threshold value; and outputting a representation of the mapping.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating a performance of an IT service. A program tool is loaded onto an end-user computer which determines a performance result with respect to a particular service utilized with the end-user computer. The result is compared to at least one threshold and based on the comparison results and a determination of whether various peer group members have also experienced a particular problem, the problem is reported for action to be taken.

Abstract: An example of a solution provided here comprises providing a measurement process including: (a) transmitting a test stream over a transmission path; and (b) measuring a quality-of-service indicator for a real-time communication application based on the transmitting; utilizing the measurement process, in continuously sampling a plurality of transmission paths in the real-time communication application's production environment; collecting data from the measurement process; comparing measured values to a threshold value; outputting a representation of compliance or non-compliance with the threshold value; and outputting a trend report based on the data; whereby the real-time communication application may be managed with reference to the threshold value. Such a solution may be selected for a Voice-over-Internet-Protocol application, a video conference application, or a speech-recognition application, to give some non-exclusive examples.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) for a cleaning machine (2) comprising a number of electrically powered rotating disks (3,4) which carry a brush (5) and a hand-held shaft (6) with a fluid supply line (7) for the supply of cleaning fluid (43) to the aforementioned discs (3-4). In accordance with invention, at least two disks (3,4) mounted in mutually opposing directions of rotation and at a relative distance from one another are so arranged as to carry a brush, etc. (5) on their respective outer free end for pressing into contact with the intended surface (8) to be cleaned. The discs (3,4) are supported by a machine (12) supported in such a way as to be capable of pivoting about articulation extending in pairs at an angle to one another. A fluid with a pump is capable of attachment.
