20100318489PII IDENTIFICATION LEARNING AND INFERENCE ALGORITHM - Techniques are described herein for determining whether data sets of real information in databases indicate PII information. The data sets are stored in a first table and parsed for keywords related to the names of data items in the sets. The keywords are stored in the second table in a many-to-many relationship with related data items in the first table. The number of times the keywords are parsed from the data items is counted, as well as the number of times each keyword is associated with a PII-designated data item. The counted numbers are then used in analyzing new data sets to identify the likelihood that the new data sets contain any PII data items.12-16-2010

20090259618SLICING OF RELATIONAL DATABASES - A method and a processing device may be provided for creating a shadow database, having a size being approximately a desired percentage of a size of a relational database. Referential integrity of tables of the relational database may be preserved in the created shadow database. A representation of a connected graph may be created, based on a schema description of the relational database, and may be used to find driving tables and related tables of the relational database. Portions of driving tables of the relational database may be copied to corresponding tables of the shadow database and rows of tables of the relational database, related to the copied portions of the driving tables, may be copied to corresponding tables of the shadow database in a number of iterations until the size of the shadow database is approximately the desired percentage of the size of the relational database.10-15-2009
20090271170FAILURE SIMULATION AND AVAILABILITY REPORT ON SAME - A simulation may be performed to assess availability of a service in the event of various types of failures. A specification may describe a behavior to be induced on a machine, and a formula under which availability is to be measured. A controller processes the specification and dispatches a request to induce the behavior to a machine on which the behavior is to be induced. An agent on that machine may look up a routine in a simulation library and may use the routine to induce the behavior. Data, such as performance counter values, are collected before, during, and/or after occurrence of the behavior, and are transmitted back to the controller. A report generator applies the formula contained in the specification to the data received to calculate the availability metric, and produces a report containing that metric.10-29-2009

20090300587DETERMINING DOMAIN DATA COVERAGE IN TESTING DATABASE APPLICATIONS - Testing systems and methods are provided for determining domain data coverage of a test of a codebase. The testing system may include a coverage program having a setup module configured to receive user input indicative of a target domain data table to be monitored during the test. The coverage program may further include a test module configured to programmatically generate a shadow table configured to receive coverage data, and to create one or more triggers on the target domain data table. The triggers may be configured, upon firing, to make entries of coverage data in the shadow table indicating that the trigger was fired during the test. The coverage program may also include an output module configured to compare the shadow table and the target domain data table to produce a coverage result, and to display the coverage result via a graphical user interface.12-03-2009
