Abstract: A system receives a request from an application to access a database. The system forms a database table proxy for a logical database. One or more database silos are assigned to the database table proxy. A default database silo from the one or more database silos is defined for the database table proxy. A database silo of the database table proxy corresponding to an application requesting access to the logical database is accessed with a database engine.

Abstract: A system, computer readable storage medium including instructions, and a computer-implemented method for testing a software unit of an application is described. A method signature for a method of the software unit of the application is received. A generic test specification for a generic test of the method is identified based on the method signature, the generic test specification being one of a plurality of test specifications, wherein the generic test specification includes a definition for at least one reference input parameter value of the method and a definition for at least one reference output parameter value of the method. The method is executed using the at least one reference input parameter value to produce at least one test output parameter value. A test result is determined based on a comparison between the at least one test output parameter value and the at least one reference output parameter value.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a request from a client to perform an application operation, transmitting a generic application persistency statement defined in an application template corresponding to the application, where the template belongs to a set of predefined application templates. Searching a logical database for a first location having entries corresponding to a technical key and an operation identifier, determining a second technical key based on content stored at the first location, searching the logical database for a second location having entries corresponding to the second technical key and a dataset key, determining a third technical key based on content stored at the second location, and accessing locations of the logical database based on the third technical key, wherein the contents of the logical database locations correspond to content of a physical database. A system to implement the method and a computer readable medium are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for calculating test coverage of a software organizational schema. The method and systems involve retrieving the software organizational schema associated with an application, receiving an assigned weight factor to the one or more software organizational schema components associated with the application, determining a number of processed code lines and a total number of the code lines associated with the one or more software organizational schema components, calculating a test coverage for the one or more software organizational schema components based on the weight factor, the number of processed code lines and the total number of code lines of the software organizational schema component.

Abstract: A plurality of nodes may be arranged within a hierarchy to perform actions, each node may perform a task associated an action. A dependency evaluator may determine, based on a request to perform an action, the first subset of the nodes configured to perform the action, wherein a first node of a higher level of the hierarchy is dependent upon a response from a second node of a lower level of the hierarchy to perform a task associated with the action. A request engine may provide the request to a lowest level of the hierarchy, wherein the second node of the lowest level may perform a task associated with the requested action and respond to the dependent first node. A response engine may receive the response from one of the nodes on a highest level of the hierarchy, including a performance of the tasks and the requested action.

Abstract: Example methods and apparatus for storing and providing application runtime data are disclosed. An example method include receiving, at a data list manager, a set of identifiers associated, respectively, with one or more persistently stored structured data records. The example method further includes storing, by the data list manager, the set of identifiers. The example method also includes receiving, at the data list manager, a request for one or more of the structured data records and retrieving, by the data list manager, the one or more requested structured data records. The example method still further includes storing, by the data list manager, the retrieved data records in correspondence with their respective identifiers and providing, by the data list manager, the retrieved data records for display to a user.
