Tests can be categorized as important with respect to ensuring software functions correctly as a function of one or more rules that define importance. The rules can be configurable to enable control of categorization. Further, tests categorized as important can be highlighted in some manner, for instance by displaying important tests in a group designated for such tests.

Streamlined testing experience

A system and method for facilitating analysis of a software project. Intrinsic measures, activity-based measures, or dynamic measures associated with the project are received, including measures associated with physical program units and logical program units of the project. Mappings between physical program units and logical program units are generated. An architectural diagram including logical program units is received, and may include additional mappings of the logical program units. The mappings are used to roll up measures from physical project units to logical project units, and from logical project units to other logical project units. An overlay diagram is generated, including the rolled up measures. The overlay diagram includes the architectural diagram and a representation of rolled up measures associated with each logical project unit on the diagram. The representations employ a graphic format that facilitates a user determining risk areas of the software project. A user may view effects of project changes prior to checking them into source control.

Architectural data metrics overlay

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing an integration framework that enables tools to be integrated. The integration framework enables tools participating in the framework to be encapsulated in a manner that hides their implementations, thereby preventing them from taking deep dependencies on each other. The integration framework also enables the tools participating in the framework to carry formal type definitions called service and data contracts that describe the public behaviors they offer. The integration framework also provides support for migrating integration logic from tools into pluggable commands to further reduce coupling between the tools.

Integrating loosely coupled tools using contracts and references

The present invention provides systems and methods that synchronize modifications between electronic data and one or more associated data representations. Synchronization comprises translating modification made to the data or a representation to the representations or the data and other representations. A mapping engine is employed to facilitate modification translation, wherein the mapping engine utilizes data-representation relationships, which declaratively described the relationship between data and respective representations. Such relationships can be stored in markup language (e.g., xml) or as a memory string, for example. Modifications can be translated via a continuous technique, wherein translation occurs upon transaction commitment or via an explicit technique, wherein translation occurs upon an explicit request. The systems and methods further employ an adapter that facilitates communication between the mapping engine and the representation and a handler store that provides various handlers that facilitates communication between the mapping engine and data.
