摘要:
An improved method is provided for identifying a cause of a performance problem experienced by an application in a computing environment. To help a user find and isolate the problem quicker, the method proposes a unified performance analysis report that presents the most likely indicators of the source of the performance problem. The report presents performance metrics for the software services used by the application and charts the metric values over time since it is often the change in a metric that indicates a problem. Each metric chart should also include an indicator for the state of service for the application. This will help the user correlate metrics from multiple sources to the time period in which the application experienced a problem.

A set of fault records representing faults previously detected in an enterprise computer system is received and analyzed. The analysis comprises a variety of analytical operations and results in a report provided to a user, the report particularly including a set of fault sources identified as highly important to address, with respect both to the system as a whole and to particular categories of faults.

Systems and methods provide for quantifying the similarity between images that appear similar. Given a set of images, one image is selected as the base image, to which the remaining images are compared. One or more portions of the base image are selected for comparison and the color composition of these areas is calculated. Then, the color compositions are examined to quantify the similarity or difference between the images, which is assigned a score reflective of the quantitative similarity or difference. The results are displayed. These systems and methods allow, e.g, a website owner to check whether web pages have come through imperfectly across different browsers; the analysis identifies not just blatant errors, but even single-pixel shifts.

A system provides an agent that executes remotely from a web site and can measure performance associated with the web site. The agent obtains a script containing at least one transaction to be performed with the web site. The transaction(s) define a sequence of page requests identifying web pages to obtain from the web site. The agent executes the script to perform the transaction with the web site. Performance of the transaction includes retrieving the sequence of web pages and identifying respective performance metrics including performance metrics associated with obtaining respective objects defined within each web page, and performance metrics associated with obtaining a complete version of each web page. The agent transmits the performance metrics associated with execution of the transaction defined by the script to a repository.

An improved method is provided for generating an authentication factor for authenticating a user. The method includes: assigning a unique identifier to a user of the computing resource; determining a value for a challenge to the user, where the value is determined by a random determination method; concatenating the identifier with the value to form an input string; encrypting the input string using a one-way hash function to yield an output string of characters; and selecting a subset of characters from the output string to serve as the authentication factor for the user. This improved method may be used to generate grids used in a grid authentication scheme.

A system obtains a script containing at least one transaction to be performed with the web site, the at least one transaction defining a sequence of page requests identifying at least one web page to obtain from the web site. The system executes the script to perform the at least one transaction, performance of the at least one transaction including retrieving the sequence of the at least one web page. The system detects a capture event associated with the at least one web page, and in response to the capture event, captures content of the at least one web page. The system packages the content of the at least one web page into a container capable of being rendered, such that the container provides a plurality of components associated with the at least one captured web page, and delivers the container to a repository.
摘要:
Techniques for gathering and tracking build information are described. Builds are registered initially. When a test execution is performed, a matching build is automatically determined from those previously registered builds as matching the software under test for a particular session. This information is tabulated in a database in accordance with additional software and hardware or platform information describes the environment in which a program executes. The platform information includes software component information and system configuration information uniquely identifying a particular instance of an environment. Data stored in the database is then analyzed and available for performing queries, for example, such as regarding code volatility and determining testing associated with a particular build.
摘要:
A data processing application for selectively processing data sub-segments using a data mask. Data segments are retrieved from a data source and pre-processed to include selected data sub-segments based upon the data mask. The masked data segments are communicated to a processor for processing. The excluded data sub-segments, if any, may be recombined with the processed data in post-processing, also using the data mask. Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture embodying the invention are described.
