A method of performance monitoring in a data processing environment is provided. The data processing environment includes multiple systems, each of which has resources. Each resource relates to a resource type, wherein at least one performance parameter is defined for each resource type. The method includes determining a value of the at least one performance parameter for at least one resource, aggregating performance parameter values and related resources of a resource type, creating for at least a part of the resources a next predefined aggregation level which includes all resources relating to the resource type and associating all performance parameter values to this aggregation level, and repeating the creating for at least a part of the resources a next predefined aggregation level until a predefined target aggregation level of the data processing environment has been reached.

A computer implemented method migrates test management data between a Lotus Notes&#xae; test management application and a tracking application. A user interface of the Lotus Notes&#xae; test management application receives a user action. The user action is an action to be taken on a document of the tracking application. The user action is a view of the document, a modification of the document, or a creation of the document. The document is a test document or a problem document. A bridge application is then triggered to communicate the user action from the Lotus Notes&#xae; test management application to the tracking application. The bridge application retrieves mapping information for the document. The bridge application then utilizes the mapping information to perform the user action on the document of the tracking application. The bridge agent then receives the document of the tracking application. The bridge agent maps the document of the tracking application to the user interface of the Lotus Notes&#xae; test management application using the mapping information. The user interface of the Lotus Notes&#xae; test management application then presents the document of the tracking application to the user.
