Abstract: A system and method is provided for maintaining and synchronizing multiple accounts in a distributed environment. Updates to accounts at one location are automatically propagated to other locations within the distributed environment. A user of a local system who is disconnected at the time of the update may later receive the update when connecting to any system within the distributed environment.

Abstract: Under the present invention, the APIs of a test application loaded on a client are identified and a test script that is capable of invoking the identified APIs is provided. If the test application satisfies reentrancy requirements, the test script is executed, which instantiates a plurality of instances of the test application using threads. Specifically, each instance of the test application corresponds to a separate thread. Because the test application is reentrant, the plurality of instances can run within a single process (e.g., JVM) with each thread being associated with a separate connection to the server on which the server application is loaded.
