Abstract:

Detecting machine utilization activity may be provided. Client machine activity within a computer network may be monitored to determine if the client machine is available for use, or if the computer is already engaged in one or more activities. During a predetermined receive period, machine activity information for a given client machine. The machine activity information for the client machine is compared to previously stored machine activity information to determine if an activity state for the client machine has changed. If the activity state of the client machine has changed, the activity state for the machine is updated. Machine activity information for all computers in the computer network may be used to track and optimize resources with the computer network.

Abstract:

Software (such as server products) operating in a complex networked environment often run on multi-machine installations that are known as machine clusters. A server product can be tested on a server machine type. The server product can be tested by tracking the constituent machines of a machine cluster, and configuring and recording the roles that each machine in the machine cluster plays. Scenarios targeting a single server machine-type can be seamlessly mapped from the single machine scenario to a machine cluster of any number of machines, while handling actions such as executing tests and gathering log files from all machines of a machine cluster as a unit.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for controlling delivery of surveys associated with a software application at a client device. One system includes a client device having an interface, a memory, and an electronic processor. The interface is configured to receive a survey including a survey item and a survey rule defining when the survey item is to be delivered to a user of the client device. The memory is configured to store the survey. The electronic processor is configured to execute the software application and receive a log of events associated with the execution of the software application. The electronic processor is also configured to access the survey stored in the memory, determine when the log of events satisfies the survey rule, and deliver the survey item to the user in response to the log of events satisfying the survey rule.
