The present technology provides an ability to simulate the performance of mobile content in a more realistic testing environment than previously available. Specifically, the present technology can mimic the fluctuations in network states that mobile devices typically experience. As the mobile content is tested using the simulated network states, the present technology can record the performance of the mobile content and create a log of the performance. Further, the present technology can also analyze the mobile content performance log and recommend various optimizations to increase the performance of the content.

Mobile hardware and network environment simulation

Improved approaches to manage cache data for applications operating in a data center environment are disclosed. Data requests incoming over a network are able to be responded to by an application in a consistent and rapid manner through intelligent management of cache data. When like applications are being concurrently operated, such as at a data center, cache data established by one application can be made available for use by another like application. As a result, cache data available to a given application is more likely to be useful to the application, particularly when the application has just been started (or restarted).

Application cache population from peer application

Techniques for collecting data via a display page are disclosed. A data entry field that does not display a current value associated with the data entry field is provided in the display page. A display field configured to display at least a portion of the current value associated with the data entry field is included in the display page selectively, e.g., at a time when a display criteria is satisfied.

Form-field mask for sensitive data

Methods and apparatus for refetching data to store in a cache are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method includes identifying a speculative set that identifies at least a first element that is associated with a cache. The first element has at least a first representation in the cache that is suitable for updating. The method also includes issuing a request to obtain the first element from a data source, opening a channel to the data source, obtaining the first element from the data source using the channel, and closing the channel. Finally, the method includes updating the first representation associated with the first element in the cache.
