Access and management of a user's content may be facilitated by, in response to receiving a request for content related to a specified entity from the repository associated with at least the user's account, identifying, in a content of a file in the repository, an entity container of at least one entity container associated with the specified entity; and communicating the entity container that is associated with the specific entity to a source of the request.

Access and management of entity-augmented content

A method of automatically augmenting content through augmentation services can include invoking a service to receive an entity determination based on the content and an entity container comprising an object of the content and one or more attributes of the object. The entity determination and corresponding entity container can be assigned as a marker to content being clipped. The marker can be used to enable access and actions that can be taken with respect to the clipping or the structured information augmenting the clipping.

Automatic augmentation of content through augmentation services

A method, system, and computer-readable storage media for providing user based licensing of an application are provided herein. The method includes receiving user log-in information from a computing device at a licensing service in response to an input by a user and providing a license for an application to the computing device, wherein the license includes device specific information associated with the user. The method also includes activating the application on the computing device using the device specific information.

User based licensing for applications

Automation test selection is made for an automation testing process according to the code changes that have occurred between builds of a software product. A mapping between the available tests and source tree locations of the files is maintained. The mapping allows the appropriate tests to be selected for the code changes that have been made, resulting in a more focused automation testing process.

System and method for selecting applicable tests in an automation testing system

Software automation testing and validation are provided according to a system that runs automation tests using multiple lab machines and allows the testing to be performed before checking in the code to a version control system. Code changes in a build of the software are provided on a computing device. Automation tests are selected from a list of available tests. When indicated by a job queue, the changed code of the build is forwarded to lab machines allocated by an automation system. An image of the build from the computing device is generated on the lab machines and the automation tests are run against the build. A report is generated and forwarded back to one or more recipients that notifies of the success or failure of the automation testing.
