Described herein are systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for implementing a self executing and self disposing signal for an imperative programming language. The self executing and self disposing signal may be utilized by a ReactiveX Specification programming language. The signal may be executed before it is observed by an external observer, reducing load times. Additionally, the signal may allow for multiple observers to observe the output of the signal at the same time and may be self disposing to prevent memory leaks.

Embodiments of the present application disclose an application development method performed at a computing device. The method includes: obtaining an input file in a predetermined format, the input file including content code of each part used for forming an application; disassembling the content code of each part in the input file into different category code according to corresponding categories; invoking a corresponding compiler according to an attribute of each piece of the category code, to compile the category code, to correspondingly obtain a description file of each piece of the category code; and performing plug-in processing on the description file of the category code of each part, to obtain the application.

This disclosure relates to modeling an Agile team structure such that it aligns with Agile principles, achieve synergy and deliver intended business benefits. Current approach to modelling depends on unproven manually arrived patterns that do not predict benefits, are based on limited number of experts utilizing heuristics from personal experience. Once a working model is derived, it is refined over time which is a slow process with no verification of its effectiveness. In accordance with the present disclosure, scalable and customizable location independent Agile delivery models can be generated using a palette based user interface such that constraints are optimized. A pre-configured meta-model is chosen and the location independent model is generated given the constraints. A compliance indicator provides a degree of compliance with the Agile principles. The model is then evaluated using machine learning models that have been trained by leveraging a knowledge base of successfully implemented Agile models.

A computing system includes a server. The server is communicatively coupled to a data repository and is configured to store a data in the data repository. The server is further configured to create, via a visual information flow creation tool, at least one information flow object, wherein the at least one information flow object comprises a flow, a sub-flow, an Action, or a combination thereof. The server is also configured to interface with the at least one information flow object via a front-end application programming interface (API), a back-end API, or a combination thereof. The server is additionally configured to execute the at least one information flow object via the front-end API, the back-end API, or a combination thereof, and to retrieve results obtained by executing the at least one information flow object via the front-end API, the back-end API, or the combination thereof.

A software robot is designed to carry out an activity (e.g., a mouse click, a text input, etc.) on a target element (e.g., a button, an input field, etc.) of a user interface. The robot's code specification is configured to include an on-screen image of the target element and a text displayed by the target element. The robot is configured to automatically identify the target element at runtime according to an element ID specified in the source-code of the user interface, and when such identification fails, to identify the target element according to the text and image stored in the robot's code.

Described is a system (and method) for automating the process of generating variations of a website that may be continually evaluated to improve a user interaction flow. The process may be based on a genetic algorithm that creates improving generations of websites. For example, the system may automate the creation of different layouts for a website and evaluate the effectiveness of each layout based on a particular user interaction goal. The most effective (e.g., top performing) layouts may be determined and then bred as part of an iterative improvement process.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for use with business process management (BPM) systems or environments, including software development tools for developing software applications that are associated with business processes (business process software applications, business process applications, process applications, or processes). In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a column-based process editor and graphical user interface, that can utilize a column-based format to model and display a process, for example a dynamic process, which can subsequently be deployed and executed within the system or environment. For example, the column-based process editor and graphical user interface can include various graphical elements to indicate configured properties of artifacts of a dynamic process. Interaction with the graphical elements enables users to review, edit, and/or remove particular properties associated with the dynamic process.

Authoring a user interface for a software product may include soliciting selection of an archetypal task from a creating user, soliciting, according to the selected archetypal task, constraints from the creating user, and generating user interface output files according to the constraints and the selected archetypal task. The user interface output files include mockups, design tool files, code, or combinations thereof. The constraints may include data types corresponding to conceptual objects, purposes of data types, end user goals, end user manipulation preferences, end user priorities. Authoring the user interface may further include suggesting to and eliciting selection by the creating user one or more interaction type.

Data transformation in a distributed system of applications and data repositories is described. The subsystems for the overall framework are distributed, thereby allowing for customization to require only isolated changes to one or more subsystems. In one embodiment, a source code repository is used to receive and store source code. A build subsystem can retrieve source code from the source code repository and build it, using one or more criteria. By building the source code, the build subsystem can generate an artifact, which is executable code, such as a JAR or SQL file. Likewise, by building the source code, the build subsystem can generate one or more job specifications for executing the executable code. In one embodiment, the artifact and job specification may be used to launch an application server in a cluster. The application server can then receive data transformation instructions and execute the data transformation instructions.
