Calendar events are pulled from an information source, such as a website, having listed events. A user subscribes to an information source where information containing time-stamped events appears. Alternatively, a user specifies a keyword for searching on the information source. If there are any changes on the information source in regard to a user-specified keyword, the event is automatically linked to the user's calendar. In yet another aspect, a publisher of the information source uses a tag set to tag running text on their information source, e.g. website, such that there is no need for the publisher of an information source to maintain a calendar of the events described in the information source. In yet another aspect, the publisher of the information source is not informed of who subscribes to the information source or what keywords the users specify in regard to the information source to provide user anonymity.

Generating, and updating calendar events from non-calendar sources

With a client connected to a server, an agent tool simulates user interaction and traversal of dynamic web pages, causing the server-side processes to serve HTML pages to the client. As these pages are served, they are collected by the agent, modified to include static hyperlinks to replace the server side directed navigation logic, and then persistently stored in local files where they are available for off-line navigation by a browser without the need for accessing the server(s). In effect, the HTML pages are published.

A test bed includes a primary test computer and a number of secondary test computers. The primary test computer includes a primary test program, and the secondary test computers each include secondary test programs. As a technician tests the application program, the primary test program captures and logs input data, and sends the input data to a secondary test computer. The secondary test computer maps the input data according to the format required by its associated secondary test computer. The secondary test computer executes the application program according to the mapped input data. When the secondary test computer detects an exception condition arising from a bug or other unusual behavior of the application program, the secondary test computer notifies the primary test computer. The primary test computer displays and logs the exception condition.
