International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 38

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to software functional testing and provide a method, system and computer program product for automated software functional testing via multi-channel remote computing. In one embodiment of the invention, an automated software functional testing data processing system can be provided. The system can include a multi-user operating platform supporting multiple different user sessions configured for communicative coupling to corresponding remote desktops, and a test driver disposed in at least one of the remote desktops. In particular, the test driver can include program code enabled to forward test inputs to an application under test (AUT) executing in one of the user sessions, and to log received test outputs resulting from the test inputs.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to attribute revelation for a hyperlinked selection and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for user customizable hyperlink hover properties. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for selectable revelation of content attributes for a hyperlink can be provided. The method can include detecting a proximity event for a hyperlink referencing content including multiple attribute values for respective attributes. The method also can include retrieving hover properties for the hyperlink including a subset of the attributes. The method even also can include selecting a subset of attribute values corresponding to the subset of attributes. Finally, the method can include displaying the subset of attributes in a popup box for the hyperlink.
