A technique for improving meeting participation in electronically calendared meetings includes a data processing system receiving an electronic invitation to a virtual meeting that requires access to one or more referenced resources for a meeting invitee to fully participate in the meeting. Whether the invitee has access to the referenced resources is determined by a data processing system. In response to determining that the invitee does not have access to the referenced resources, access for the invitee to the referenced resources is provisioned by a data processing system. Finally, the meeting is added to an electronic calendar associated with the invitee.

Techniques for improving the ability of an invitee to fully participate in a meeting via a data processing system

A method is provided for categorizing a problem report in a repository of a problem reporting system as an enhancement request or as a defect. Based on the problem report being the defect and having a high severity level, determining a score indicating a probability that a text portion of the problem report includes problem reproduction steps. In response to the score indicating the probability of problem reproduction steps, flagging the problem report to automate. For each problem report to automate, copying the text portion of the problem report to an automated test script, whereby the test script runs in a continuous pipeline.

Pre-populating continuous delivery test cases

Arrangements described herein relate to generation of test plans. A list of test case selection criteria can be presented to each of a plurality of stakeholders. At least one user input is received from each of the plurality of stakeholders selecting at least one test case selection criterion from the list of test case selection criteria and, for each selected test case selection criterion, assigning a criterion priority. Test cases, which correspond to the selected test case selection criteria, can be automatically selected to include in a candidate test plan. A candidate priority can be automatically assigned to each test case selected to be included in the candidate test plan. The processor selects the test cases to include in the candidate test plan and assigns the candidate priorities to the selected test cases based on processing the criterion priorities assigned to the selected test case selection criteria by the stakeholders.

Collaborative computer aided test plan generation

Content of an email message may be analyzed, using natural language processing (NLP), to determine a subject matter of the email message. A cost estimate may be generated for sending the email message based on at least the subject matter of the email message. The cost estimate may be compared to a cost threshold. The cost estimate may be determined to exceed the cost threshold, based on the comparing.

Email cost analytics

A mechanism is provided for use with a set of images including a first image, with each image of the set of images respectively representing a computer and respectively including software and configuration settings data. The mechanism deploys a plurality of first image instantiations of the first image for respective use by a plurality of users. The mechanism tracks use of the plurality of first image instantiations to create a historical usage data set indicative of how the plurality of users are customizing the plurality of first image instantiations.

Dynamic cloud image updates based on subjective customization and user input

A method and system are provided. The method includes monitoring power usage and predicting power requirements for the at least two mobile devices. The method further includes identifying a device charging order and a power threshold of each of the at least two devices to meet the predicted power requirements of each of the at least two devices. The method also includes notifying a user regarding the device charging order and the power threshold of each of the at least two devices. At least the monitoring, identifying, and notifying steps are performed by a processor-enabled charging manager.

Communication between devices to determine priority of charging

A computer implemented method and system for condensing a communications thread which includes monitoring, using a computer, a communications thread. Multiple instances of a repeated portion of content of the communications thread are identified. One instance of the repeated portion of content of the communications thread is retained. One or more additional instances of the repeated portion of content is removed and stored. A reference link in the communications thread is associated to the repeated portion of content. The communications thread is condensed, wherein the condensed communications thread includes the one instance of the repeated portion of content, and the reference link.

Intelligently condensing transcript thread history into a single common reduced instance

A device comprises an input component configured to receive an event identification request from a provider. The event identification request comprises one or more requirements usable to identify an actionable event for resolution. The requirements specify a geographical boundary and one or more goods. The device also comprises a processor communicably coupled to the input component. The processor is adapted to transmit the event identification request to a repository configured to match the event identification request with one or more actionable events based on the one or more requirements.

Matching actionable events with goods and services providers

Backing up electronic data files excluding confidential data. An electronic trigger event for initiating a data backup operation is detected. Data files are identified for backup. One or more files, or parts of a file, are designated for exclusion from the backup process. The backup process initiates a backup operation of one or more files, excluding the designated files.

Privacy protection of media files for automatic cloud backup systems

Described are a system and method for performing an automated quality assessment on a software program under test. A test automation system executes a test on a software program Data related to the test is automatically collected. The data includes first information determined by the test automation system in response to executing the test. The data further includes second information related to the test and received from a source other than the test automation system. The first information is analyzed. A quality assessment of the software program is generated from the analyzed first information and from the second information.

Software test automation systems and methods

A method comprises receiving event data describing an event from an internet-coupled mobile communication device and receiving a geographical location of the event. The geographical location is identified by the internet-coupled mobile communication device. The method also comprises receiving an event identification request from a provider device, and determining that the event data and the geographical information match the event identification request. The method further comprises transmitting the event data and the geographical information to the provider device.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an artifact is received, and unstructured content of the artifact is parsed and analyzed to identify data for one or more of missing structured content of the artifact and inaccurate structured content of the artifact. The identified data is then added to the artifact. Embodiments of the present invention can be used, for example, to provide data for missing and inaccurate structured content in artifacts of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) frameworks, and improve accuracy of structured information that used to run queries and create reports.
