Discovering work-item relations, in one aspect, may include identifying mappings of work-item elements to standardized specification elements, for instance, by analyzing a plurality of work-item elements and their relationships generated from a description of a collection of work-items, and a plurality of standardized specification elements and their relationships generated from a description of practice guidelines for completing the project. One or more missing relations may be discovered among the plurality of work-item elements based on the mappings.

Discovering work-item relations through full text and standard method analysis

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for predicting the classification of a work-item notification generated by an issue tracking system. A computing device analyzes a new work-item notification using a trained binary classifier that was trained using at least a past and/or current work-item history that was collected as a tuple that includes information reflecting the workitem-ID, actor, timestamp, attribute, work-item start-value, and work-item end-value. The computing device, in response to analyzing the new work-item notification, predicts a classification of the new work-item notification. In an embodiment, the classification is used for display of the new work-item notification.

A system and an article of manufacture for semantic and contextual searching over a knowledge repository including creating a search query for each concept related to the target concept to form a search context, wherein the search query for each related concept comprises at least one word derived from a record of that concept previously authored in the project, running the search query on a search index of a knowledge repository to identify a record of the related concept for which the search query is created, and fetching the record of the target concept from the repository as a search result such that the fetched record of the target concept is linked in the knowledge repository to a record of the related concept returned as a result of running the search query on at least one record of the at least one related concept.

Semantic and contextual searching of knowledge repositories

A method for semantic and contextual searching over a knowledge repository. The method includes creating a search query for each concept related to the target concept to form a search context, wherein the search query for each related concept comprises at least one word derived from a record of that concept previously authored in the project, running the search query on a search index of a knowledge repository to identify a record of the related concept for which the search query is created, and fetching the record of the target concept from the repository as a search result such that the fetched record of the target concept is linked in the knowledge repository to a record of the related concept returned as a result of running the search query on at least one record of the at least one related concept.

An example embodiment disclosed is a system for automated model extraction of documents containing flow diagrams. An extractor is configured to extract from the flow diagrams flow graphs. The extractor further extracts nodes and edges, and relational, geometric and textual features for the extracted nodes and edges. A classifier is configured to recognize process semantics based on the extracted nodes and edges, and the relational, geometric and textual features of the extracted nodes and edges. A process modeling language code is generated based on the recognized process semantics. Rules to recognize patterns in process diagrams may be determined using supervised learning and/or unsupervised learning. During supervised learning, an expert labels example flow diagrams so that a classifier can derive the classification rules. During unsupervised learning flow diagrams are clustered based on relational, geometric and textual features of nodes and edges.

Automated recognition of process modeling semantics in flow diagrams

A computer system, method and computer program product for automatically converting, through automating-test-automation software, a manual test case representation (in a natural language), for testing a target software, into a machine-readable test case representation. In preferred embodiments, the machine-readable test case is in the form of a keyword-based test case that is made from action-target-data tuples. The automation-test-software uses a methodical process of trial-and-error to resolve ambiguities that are generally present (and generally resolvable by humans) in the manual test case representation.
