Capability test programs are generated implementing the capability test test cases for the components, wherein component developers use the capability test programs to test components during the development and coding of the components. Documentation is generated describing component abstract test cases incorporating information on capability test test cases. Component test programs are generated implementing the component abstract test cases for the components and utilizing capability test programs, wherein each component test program tests one component for at least one test case specified in the component abstract test case documentation for the component. The capability test programs and component test programs are stored in a shared repository. A software development program is deployed to enable the developers and testers to execute groups of component test programs in the shared repository to test the components during different phases of the development of the software product.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for backing-up and restoring files including files referenced with multiple file names. Files to backup are determined. A determination is made from the files to backup files referenced with multiple names. An entry is created for each file to backup in a backup directory indicating file attributes and each name used to reference the file. The determined files and the backup directory are backed-up.

Backing-up and restoring files including files referenced with multiple file names

The present invention provides a system and method for remotely accessing a client in a client-server system. From a browser, an end user enters a URL containing a machine name and a port number. A listening program at the client listening on that port number establishes communication with the browser and invokes a client agent. The client agent includes conventional client functions as well as APIs that allow the client to interface with both the server and the browser. The client agent then serves an applet to the browser that makes the browser appear to the end user as the client machine. The user can then execute client functions from the browser. Examples of the client functions include backing up and restoring files from the client to/from the server, migrating or recalling files, archiving or retrieving files.
