Abstract: A method for testing an application that invokes an application programming interface (API) comprises identifying signatures for APIs. A package associated with the API is identified in the application under test, and a package name of the API is identified in the signatures. During runtime of the application under test, request and response objects (or other objects) for the identified package are created using the package name and reflection. The created request object is then used to invoke the API to test the application under test and the response object is used to evaluate the response with expected response.

Abstract: An extensible single point orchestration system receives service requests from applications. In dependence upon the service request a single third party provider service or multiple third party provider services is identified. When the single third party provider service is identified, the system dynamically adapts a core capability service, using a stored configuration entity, so as to set an appropriate message format and transmit a service call message to an external API of the identified single third party provider service. When multiple third party provider services are identified, the system dynamically adapts the core capability service, using another stored configuration entity, so as to set a respective appropriate message format for parallel data transmission of service call messages to each of the respective identified third party provider services and transmits the service call messages to respective external APIs of each of the third party provider services.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of dynamically activating web applications. For instance, such applications may not be configured on a machine until requests for those applications are received by the machine. For example, upon receipt of such a request, the machine may automatically configure an application that is identified by the request on the machine. The machine may then forward the request to the application for processing. In another example, the machine may run an application-agnostic worker process (AAWP), which configures an application on the machine upon receipt of a request for the application. An AAWP is a worker process that is capable of processing requests for web application(s) that are not previously associated with the AAWP. The AAWP may cause a specified worker process to run on the machine, so that the specified worker process may process the request and/or subsequent requests for the application.

Abstract: Prior art attempts to manage authority designation in GUI-based computer systems have set up various “handshaking” schemes between a graphics management system, such as a window server, and the various processes that are attempting to offer and accept access to each other. However, these schemes have certain limitations. In particular, when windows are used as the “fundamental basis” for implementing authority designation, events that should treat all content within a window identically can't do so because, even though all content in the window may appear to be “owned” by the window, there may be some other process that is actually rendering the content to some portion of the window. Thus, described herein are systems and methods to manage authority designation and event handling within “hierarchical” GUIs using “handshaking” schemes that are secure, sub-window granular, and that generalize recursively when applied to the various graphical layers used to construct the windows.
