20090094614 | Direct synchronous input - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing direct synchronous input. An input monitor determines where an input from a sender that is directed to a target element is about to be delivered. One example for providing an input monitor includes using a system hook. If the input monitor determines that the input is about to be delivered to the target element, the input is delivered to the target element, and the sender is notified that delivery to the target element succeeded. An interface for providing a direct synchronous input is also described. The interface has a start method for monitoring inputs being sent to target elements from a sender. The interface also has a received event for notifying the sender when a particular input is received by the target element. | 04-09-2009 |
20090248850 | WAIT FOR READY STATE - Automation of actions on a server system (e.g., web server, FTP server) is facilitated by a server system that is ready for actions to be performed upon it. Because there are scenarios when a server system is not in a state to be acted upon (e.g., web page changed due to navigation, script execution, asynchronous request through dynamic web extensions), an automated action needs to be synchronized to when then server system is in a ready state for that action to occur. A wait-for-ready state can be initiated that detects when a server system is ready for a next action. | 10-01-2009 |
20090249284 | AUTOMATION FOR VIRTUALIZED IT ENVIRONMENTS - A system automatically builds custom virtual appliances and/or other computing environments and their components, where applicable, based on user requirements and may offer a service for hosting, maintaining, monitoring and managing such appliances remotely. These virtual appliances may be delivered over a network, such as the Internet, and can be run at a customer site or at a hosting provider. Some embodiments of the invention can build these appliances using custom applications developed by customers. | 10-01-2009 |
20090249300 | EVENT SET RECORDING - Recording of functional steps resulting from actions in an application is desirable for performing functional testing or user interface automation of an application. However, certain events that may result from actions occurring in an application are often difficult to record, which may lead to playback failure. Further, a user's intent when performing an action is difficult to determine. In order to obtain effective playback, a reliable and efficient recording of an application's functional steps needs to occur. Injecting wrapper functions into an application and monitoring an event generator's state before and after an action has occurred may yield more reliable and effective results. | 10-01-2009 |
20100088651 | MERGED TREE-VIEW UI OBJECTS - Merging user interface (UI) object trees comprising UI trees from different technologies (e.g., host and one or more guest technologies) can involve registering guest technologies with a technology adapter layer, for example, used to manage UI tree merging. Further, identifying whether a UI object can be switched from a first technology to a second technology can comprise using a host technology provider to identify if a UI object can be switched, when navigating down the UI tree. When navigating up the UI tree, information stored by the technology adapter layer can be used to identify if a UI object can be switched. Additionally, identifying the second technology can comprise having the technology adapter layer request technology switching capability information from registered technologies for the UI object when navigating down the UI tree. When navigating up the UI tree, information stored by the technology adapter layer can be used to identify the second technology. Also, converting the UI object from the first technology to the second technology in the UI tree can be performed using a COM-based conversion. | 04-08-2010 |
