A system and method for collecting and correlating information about development of a computer software, including software tools reports. The system and method provides overview of entire software development lifecycle, provides decision support engine for project management, allows estimation of project timelines based upon empirical data, allows evaluation of project quality based upon empirical data, and correlates information from previous projects to estimate progress of current project (confidence factors). The system and method for collecting and correlating information about development of a computer software include collecting data from a plurality of software tools during each point in lifecycle of the computer software; storing the collected data in a database; and correlating the stored collected data to monitor the development of the computer software.

System and method for global group reporting

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for automatically preventing errors in computer software. The method includes storing the computer software in a code repository; executing a plurality of software verification tools to verify the computer software, wherein each of the plurality of software verification tools automatically generates one or more test cases; generating verification results responsive to executing the plurality of software verification tools and the automatically generated test cases; processing the verification results for generating an objective criterion of quality of the computer software; and customizing the scope of one or more of the plurality of verification tools responsive to the objective criterion of quality of the computer software.

Method and system for automatic error prevention for computer software

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and system for testing databases and database oriented applications through analyzing database contents and structure. The method and system provide a framework for various tests, which can be deployed against the database structure or contents. The system provides a set of ready to use tests, however, custom tests can also be written using system API. Tests used within the framework constitute test suits. Test suits can be used during database oriented application development process for regression testing, verifying newly added functionality, re-testing of existing and modified functionality, deploying new versions of an application. Test suits can also be used for database monitoring and database cleaning.

Method and system for testing data sources and database oriented software applications

An automated recommendation system keeps track of the needs and preferences of the user through a user preference vector. Each field of the user preference vector represents the user's preference for a specific item attribute. Item attributes are defined by a systems programmer. The systems programmer also creates product vectors of items in the recommendation database. A user preference vector is compared against a product vector to determine if the product is suitable for recommendation. A recommended item may be purchased by the user by submitting a purchase request over a network connection. The user preference vector is constantly refined through feedback from the user about the recommended items.

Method and apparatus for automated selection, organization, and recommendation of items

An automatic maid performs all of the selection and organization tasks involved with family meal planning. The automatic maid keeps track of the needs and preferences of all users. User needs and preferences are constantly refined through questions about foods both eaten and rejected. The automatic maid keeps track of household inventory and can order additional supplies. The automatic maid uses the preferences of the users and its knowledge of the household inventory to select the most compatible meals. It gives instruction on food preparation, can activate appliances, and can order food. The automatic maid can be accessed from a remote location and can update its recipes over a network or the Internet.
