Confirming enforcement of business rules specified in a data access tier of a multi-tier enterprise application. In an embodiment, a testing tool programmatically identifies the attributes in the data access tier that are accessible from a set of higher/interface tiers and provides the identified attributes to a user using a suitable interface. The user then specifies a set of test cases based on the provided attributes, with each test case including data elements associated with respective attributes and an expected result if the data elements are sought to be stored in the respective attributes of a data storage. The testing tool determines a validation result of operation of business rules against the combination of data elements and respective attributes. The testing tool then indicates that the business rules are enforced as desired, if the validation result is the same as the expected result.

Techniques for distributing information over a network having a database in data communication with said network include a method that records in the database a plurality of computer readable profiles. Each computer readable profile corresponds to one of multiple users of the network. One of the computer readable files includes a query term that is associated with it. Generated on a common user interface are both perceivable stimuli in response to activity on said network of users corresponding to subgroup of the plurality of computer readable profiles, and information corresponding to computer readable profiles of the subgroup. The corresponding users of the subgroup possess knowledge related to the query term. A region of the user interface in which the perceivable stimuli is present defines an activity stream region. A region of the user interface in which said information is present defines a connections region of the user interface.
