Abstract: An apparatus for generating event detection rules in a multiple-component computer system in accordance with embodiments of the invention may include a configuration information-extracting section for acquiring system configuration information from a multiple-component computer system. The system configuration information may include related information that describes relationships among system components. The apparatus may further include a history information-collecting section for collecting history information from the multiple-component computer system, such as log information and/or failure information output from a component upon a system failure. A candidate event-identifying section may identify candidate events that may be selected by a user to generate a detection rule based on the system configuration information and the history information. Finally, a candidate event-presenting section may present the candidate events to a user for selection.

Abstract: In a mechanism for supporting detection of a failure event, history information of a system including log information of the system including plural components and/or failure information output from each component upon occurrence of a failure in the system is collected. A detection rule for detecting an event included in a component related to the failure that has occurred is generated, and a symptom with additional information added to the generated detection rule is applied to detect the event that has caused the failure. System configuration information as configuration information of the system is acquired, and from the acquired system configuration information, partial configuration information as system configuration information related to the component that sent out the event the selection of which has been accepted is extracted. The extracted partial configuration information is added to the symptom to update the symptom.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically executing an internationalization test of web applications by recording and utilizing HTTP transmitted and received data in the internationalization test in a multilingual web application. By processing and storing recorded HTTP transmitted and received data in a base language to prepare an HTTP request corresponding to a user specified test object language to a web server, a test is automatically executed while emulating user operations on the web browser in the test object language. This generates corresponding HTTP transmitted and received data in the test object language. By comparing and analyzing the HTTP transmitted and received data in the base language and test object language, a required verification for an internationalization test is automatically conducted and the verification results are stored or recorded for later use in subsequent operations.

Abstract: To select a communication sequence for automating user's operations, a system performing a user's operation is provided, which acquires and stores a communication history of a client with a server in receipt of a user's operation; accesses the storage to detect from the history a plurality of communication sequences that cause the same screen transition on the client; accesses the storage to select an input parameter that is included in all of the plurality of communication sequences and that has a parameter value changed for each communication sequence; accepts an input of a new parameter value to be set as a value of the selected input parameter; and sets the new parameter value to the selected input parameter in response to the input of the new parameter value, to execute a communication sequence that causes the same screen transition as that caused by the detected communication sequences.

Abstract: A system, a computer program product, and a method capable of dynamically and flexibly support a plurality of locales upon provisioning are provided. A management server connected via a network to a plurality of processing resources each set with a locale includes a storage unit to store processing, a locale, and a set of instructions corresponding to the processing and the locale, and a selection unit to select a set of instructions associated with required processing and a required locale by referring to the storage unit, and it further includes a determination unit to dynamically determine the required processing and the processing resource by way of provisioning, and the storage unit stores the plurality of processing resources and each locale.
