An objective-driven test case generation system includes an atomic test case module, a test data module, a tailoring module and a functional test case module. The atomic test case module generates a plurality of atomic test cases and stores the atomic test cases in an atomic test case library. The test data module receives a business model, determines one or more test steps from the input business model, and generates test data including the test steps. The tailoring module performs a linking operation to link the test steps included in the test data with one or more atomic test cases included in the atomic test case library to generate linked test case data. The functional test case module generates an objective-driven functional test case based on the linked test case data.

Objective-driven test cases and suites

A first content and a second content of a first user are obtained. The second content is configured by the first user to be displayed to a second user instead of the first content. A familiarity degree between the first user and the second user are determined. A third content is generated based on the first content, the second content, and the familiarity degree. The third content is displayed to the second user.

Content display based on user relationship

Techniques for multistage process model training are described herein. Another aspect includes determining a first gray level histogram corresponding to a first input image. Another aspect includes determining a second gray level histogram corresponding to a second input image. Another aspect includes determining a set of change values, each change value corresponding to a change in a respective gray level from the first gray level histogram to the second gray level histogram. Another aspect includes comparing each change value of the set of change values to a threshold. Another aspect includes, based on determining that a first change value of the set of change values is higher than the threshold, adding a first gray level corresponding to the first change value to a hot zone of the second input image. Another aspect includes training a model using the hot zone of the second input image.

Multistage process model training

Embodiments describe an approach for concurrently managing a video display and an application user interface. Embodiments describe generating a translucent mask video display over a computer-implemented application and displaying a video in the translucent mask video display over the computer-implemented application. Additionally, embodiments describe detecting user activity associated with the computer-implemented application and pausing the video in the translucent mask video display when the user activity is detected. Responsive to an end to the user activity, embodiments describe translating the detected user activity as a set of computer operations, outputting the set of computer operations for performance on the computer-implemented application, and resuming the video in the translucent mask video display.

Hands-on learning play controlled video display

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems. Embodiments of the present invention can receive an application processing interface (API) invoke request for a service to be directed to an API management device. Embodiments of the present invention can then determine that there is a fast path to a service provider for the service requested by the API invoke request according to a fast path record in an accelerator. Embodiments of the present invention can then send the API invoke request to the service provider through the fast path based on the service provider's connection information.

API invoke request management

Implementations of the present disclosure relate a method, system and computer program products that dynamically compile conditional statements. According to the method, a first number of times that a first conditional statement of a plurality of conditional statements has been satisfied during execution of the plurality of conditional statements for a time period is obtained, wherein the plurality of conditional statements are compiled in a first order during the execution. Based on the first number of times and the first order, a determination is made whether the plurality of conditional statements are to be reordered. In response to a determination that the plurality of conditional statements are to be reordered, a second order of the plurality of conditional statements is determined, wherein the second order being different from the first order. The plurality of conditional statements are then compiled in the second order.

Dynamic compiling for conditional statements during execution

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a respective indication of each of two or more clouds. The two or more clouds are added to a user account. A first file is received for storage in the user account. The first file is split into a plurality of data blocks. The plurality of data blocks of the first file are distributed across the two or more clouds. An indication of a respective location of each data block of the first file is saved.

Storage unification with security management

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for processing a message including a content and operations performed on the content. According to the method, in response to a message including both a content and a description of operations performed on the content being requested to access, an application may be made to access the content; and the application may be made to execute the operations performed on the content.

Message processing

Tracking of data processing usage of a workload is initiated, within a virtualized environment, comprising one or more globalization characteristics, wherein the at least one globalization characteristic requires conversion by at least one globalization service managed by a virtualization service provider of the virtualized environment. The at least one globalization characteristic is detected. At least one usage metric of the data is tracked during data processing of the workload request. The globalization usage data is output comprising an identifier for the at least one application, an identifier for the at least one globalization characteristic, and the at least one usage metric to identify a particular amount of overhead during data processing based on the at least one globalization characteristic.

Tracking use of a virtualization service recording to globalization characteristic based usage

Multiple workloads from multiple users requesting access to at least one virtualized application are received, wherein each of the workloads is specified with one or more separate globalization characteristics from among multiple globalization characteristics. To dynamically manage workload placement, each of the workloads is dynamically categorized separately for placement in one or more particular virtualized environments from among multiple virtualized environments based on the one or more separate globalization characteristics of each of the workloads, wherein each virtualized environment comprises the at least one virtualized application configured for a separate selection of globalization services from among multiple globalization services for handling a separate selection of the one or more separate globalization characteristics.

Dynamically managing workload placements in virtualized environments based on current user globalization customization requests

Tracking use of a virtualization service according to globalization characteristic based usage

A method and apparatus for password entry, the method comprising: displaying a password inputting keyboard on a display, the keyboard including a character carrier and a position carrier, the character carrier and the position carrier are capable of relative movement between each other so that when the position of a character in the character carrier is corresponding to a position mark on the position carrier, the position of at least one other character in the character carrier is corresponding to at least one other position mark in the position carrier; in response to a user causing relative movement between the character carrier and the position carrier, aligning a character in the character carrier with a position mark in the position carrier; and in response to a lapse of a predetermined time, recording the character and its input order and changing the layout of the password inputting keyboard.
