Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for dynamically detecting, downloading and installing drivers on a client system. The present invention operates in a client/server architecture of a network environment. In operation, information relating to a client system is provided to a server, and that information is used to match available driver information located on the server to the received client system information.

Abstract: Method and computer program product for testing software subroutines in an application programming interface. In an exemplary embodiment, a C++ class hierarchy is established for creating a set of intrinsic data element objects containing values of base parameters and a set of list data element objects representing grouped data structures and the subroutines themselves by containing a root-level parameter list for the subroutine, The classes representing each type of base parameter type have associated therewith program code means for creating a user interface for editing the values of such data elements. The list class contains associated program code means for generating a dialog box to display the contents of the grouped data element and provide means to initiate editing of the individual data element values. The data element objects are created by instantiating the appropriate C++ class for a base parameter, grouped data structure, or root-level parameter list.
