One embodiment provides a system for optimizing business processes comprising an analyzer component configured to retrieve testing data on a business application, wherein the testing data is generated before deployment of the business application. The analyzer component is further configured to retrieve actual data on the business application, wherein the actual data is generated during deployment of the business application. The analyzer component is further configured to analyze the actual data and the testing data to identify at least one business process from the actual data, wherein an identified business process from the actual data is attempted to be matched with a baseline business process defined during testing. The system further comprises a report generator configured to output results from analysis of the actual data and the testing data. Output results may be used to optimize testing and to correlate problems encountered in the field with situations encountered during testing.

Business process optimization and problem resolution

An apparatus () in an example comprises a test-script generator () and selection logic (). The test-script generator () serves to create a test script () through identification of currently-available elements () of an application () under test. The test script () is employable to exercise the application (). The selection logic () serves to identify elements () of a currently-executing component script () within the test script (), contemporaneous with execution of the test script (), that may be affected by graphical user interface changes made to the application (). The identification of the elements () of the currently-executing component script within the test script (), contemporaneous with execution of the test script (), that may be affected by the graphical user interface changes by the selection logic is contemporaneous with the exercise of the application () by the test script ().

Identification of elements of currently-executing component script

A test-centric model of an application is constructed. Each resource specified by each test governing an application is added to the test-centric model. The test or tests specifying an resource are linked to the resource within the test-centric model. A composition of the application is defined using the one or more tests, as the resources specified by the one or more tests, within the test-centric model of the application.

Constructing test-centric model of application

A method includes obtaining a first XML schema and a second XML schema. One or more schema objects of each of the first XML schema and the second XML schema are identified. An identified schema object of the first XML schema is compared with an identified schema object of the second XML schema. If a difference is detected between the compared schema objects, a risk of the detected difference affecting operation of a composite application incorporating the first schema or the second schema is evaluated. A notification of the evaluated risk is issued.
