Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the automated merger of content in progeny of a primary file in a version control system. In one embodiment of the invention, the method can include establishing different segments of content in a primary file in a merger tool executing in memory by a processor of a host computer and associating each of the segments with a classification corresponding to a particular merger rule selected from amongst different merger rules. The method also can include parsing content in different progeny of the primary file and identifying changes in a parsed portion of the progeny corresponding to a specific one of the segments of the primary file. Finally, the method can include applying to the identified changes a merger rule corresponding to a classification associated with the specific one of the segments.

Automated file merging through content classification

The Functional Tester Plug-in (FTP) extracts information from a data base to enhance automated testing tools to accommodate changes to the computer environment and so that a simulation can be fully executed even if an exception occurs. The FTP accesses the test script and static data store created by a developer using the automated testing tool, wherein the test script and static data store indicate a first resource to be tested at a verification point and a first expected result. The FTP identifies the first resource used by the test script at a first verification point and accesses the data base. The FTP identifies the status and configuration of the first resource in the data base. The FTP calculates an optimal expected result based on any changes in the status and configuration of the first resource.

Aspects of the present invention disclose a system, method and program for automatic generation of source code under test case. In an example, a computer determines whether references to source code under test can be located from a test case. The computer automatically generates boiler plate code required for the creation of source code under test, wherein each section of the source code under test is associated with each section of the test case that caused its generation. The computer analyzes one or more test case syntax clues to provide additional information to form the boiler plate source code under test for the test case. The computer generates source code under test based on the type of boiler plate required for the creation of source code under test and the provided syntax clues in the test case.

Auto generation and linkage of source code to test cases

A solution for managing software dependencies during software testing and debugging includes a capture module configured to capture a software call stack of a software execution environment, each software call of the software call stack including a call signature and a call result. The solution defines a set of proxied software calls within the software call stack suitable for simulating conversation responses to runtime software calls by a target application. Once a set of proxied software calls is defined, a playback module recognizes runtime software calls by the target application that are within the set of proxied software calls and responds to the recognized runtime software call with a captured call result corresponding to the recognized software call.

A selection of a menu command that identifies a selected area of a web page as containing undesirable content is detected using a user input device of a client computer system executing a web browser that loads source web content from a group of servers. In response to the detection of the selected menu command, an alternate Internet Protocol (IP) address is substituted for a hostname of a website that provided the undesirable content. The alternate IP address is selected based on a content substitution profile of the client computer system. Using the substituted alternate IP address in response to a content request that identifies the undesirable content, the web page is reloaded with substituted source web content received from a server accessed by the alternate IP address displayed in the selected area of the web page instead of displaying the undesirable content identified in the content request.

Substituting content for undesirable content in a web browser

The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for preventing a browser from loading content from undesirable sources. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: selecting an area of a web page containing undesirable content; substituting an alternate Internet Protocol (IP) address for a hostname of a website that provided the undesirable content based on a profile; and redisplaying the web page with content from the alternate IP address displayed in the selected area of the web page.

A method of in-line processing of standardized text values. A standardization utility defines multiple standardization rules in response to user input from a graphical user interface (GUI). The standardization rules correspond to text and integer data in a database. The standardization utility generates a JAVA class template for each data model object that requires standardization. The standardization utility generates public methods for each data attribute that corresponds to a standardization rule and converts the public methods into JAVA code. The standardization utility compiles the JAVA code into multiple helper classes and stores the helper classes within a JAVA Archive (JAR) file in the library path of applications that input text into the database. The standardization utility assigns a tracking number to each new helper class. The standardization utility loads the helper classes into JAVA Virtual Machines (JVMs) that are accessible to applications capable of inputting data into the database.
