A group of remote devices executing an omnichannel application are coordinated from a network node. An omnichannel mediator coordinates formation of at least two of said remote devices into an omnichannel cloudlet. A component manager controls which of a plurality of components of said omnichannel application should optimally be placed on which individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet and how data should flow to individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet. A replication optimizer optimally coordinates data replication for the group of remote device.

Omnichannel approach to application sharing across different devices

A method includes analyzing, on a first computing device, data from second computing device(s) of user interaction with a user interface of an application previously executed on the second computing device(s). The data corresponds to events caused by the user interaction with the user interface of the application. The first computing device generates representation(s) of the analyzed data and outputs the representation(s) of the user interaction. Another method includes capturing and logging, by a computing device, events caused by user interaction with a user interface of an application when the application is executed on the computing device. In response to a trigger, data comprising the captured and logged events is sent toward another computing device. Another method includes instrumenting a measurement library into an application to create an instrumented version of the application, and sending the instrumented application to computing device(s). Methods, apparatus, software, and computer program products are disclosed.

Automatically capturing user interactions and evaluating user interfaces in software programs using field testing

A method for tracking provenance information includes catching and logging data events performed by an instrumented application at a provenance layer. Overwritten library call instructions provide library calls to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke the provenance layer to track data operations. A provenance log is created that includes the logged data events.

Transparently tracking provenance information in distributed data systems

Systems for enabling an application to track provenance include an instrumented application binary on a client device. Overwritten library call instructions provide library calls to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke a provenance layer to track data operations. The provenance layer is configured to catch and log data events performed by the instrumented application.

A method and system of determining a vulnerability of software are provided. In a setup phase, an authorized application is received from an authorized source. Static analysis is performed to identify a plurality of structural characteristics, which are stored. During an active phase, a call is received from a user device having a target application purporting to be a version of the authorized application, during a runtime of the target application. One or more structural characteristics are selected from the plurality of structural characteristics. The user device is requested to provide the selected one or more structural characteristics from the target application. Upon determining that the report does not provide a match between the selected one or more structural characteristic of the authorized application and the target application, the version of the target application is identified to be unsecure.

Application integrity verification in multi-tier architectures

An embodiment includes causing elements to be recognized that correspond to one or more browser-supported programming languages in an application. The recognized elements are those elements that can be converted to native user interface elements in the operating system and rendered on a display of a computing device. The elements in the one or more browser-supported programming languages are converted to native user interface elements. The native user interface elements are caused to be rendered on the display of the computing device. Methods, apparatus, software, and computer program products are disclosed.

Automatically rendering web and/or hybrid applications natively in parallel

A method comprises receiving data pertaining to a recorded interaction between a test device operating system and an application on a test device, the recorded interaction being based on a user input; compiling the data pertaining to the recorded interaction in a script compiler, the data comprising human-readable action-description language; sending the compiled data comprising human-readable action-description language from the script compiler of the server to a developer device; receiving modified data from the developer device; and sending the modified data from the developer device to the test device.

System, method, and apparatus for automatic recording and replaying of application executions

A method modifies an application program to create an augmented application program by including at least one call and a software library in the application program. The at least one call is to a method that forms part of the library. The method further includes, upon receiving a request from an augmented application program resident on the device, registering and authenticating the augmented application program and sending a policy file to the device that is configured to control use of only the augmented application program. Another method receives at a device an application program augmented to include the at least one call and software library. The method further includes launching the application program and sending a registration and authentication request to a server of an enterprise, and receiving from the server a policy file configured for controlling use by the device of only the registered and authenticated augmented application program.

System, method and apparatus for automatic device registration and secure application activation

A method for sharing documents includes initiating a sharing session with a first participant and a second participant, wherein the first participant is communicatively connected to the second participant via a server, receiving a control request having an action from the first participant, determining whether the control request includes a share page action, and retrieving components of the page with available component types and sending components associated with preferences of the first participant to the first participant and components associated with preferences of the second participant to the second participant responsive to determining that the control request includes the share page action.
