Visualization of the result of user interface code is provided in the context of code review. Changes to user interface code can be visualized to enable code reviewers to easily understand the effect of such changes. Furthermore, the visualization, or view, provides a surface for users to provide precise feedback to a developer.

Visualized code review

A role-based access control (RBAC) modeling and auditing system is described that enables a user to access and/or create security roles that can be applied to users of a first software application. When a security role having a particular set of permissions has been accessed or created, the system can present a simulated user interface (UI) that indicates information that can be viewed and/or actions that can be performed by a user to whom the security role has been assigned when interacting with the first software application. The system may further provide 'run as' functionality that enables a simulated UI to be generated for a particular user and that can display the security role(s) associated with the particular user. The system may be embodied in a second software application, such as a tool that is associated with the first software application.

Role-based access control modeling and auditing system

A three-layer management protocol device emulator and method that emulates numerous Web management protocol devices using a single virtual machine. A client on a network believes that there are a large number of Web management protocol devices on the network. Embodiments of the emulator and method use a three-layer multiple-endpoint model. A proxy layer is used to emulate multiple devices by building an endpoint pool containing a large number of endpoint pairs corresponding to the emulated devices. The presentation layer is used to specifically translate and parse the Web management protocol, and the logic layer represents the logic for a specific Web management protocol device being emulated. Embodiments of the emulator and method receive a request from a client on the network, use the proxy layer, presentation layer and logic layer to process the request and obtain a response, and then send the response back to the requesting client.
