Various embodiments include at least one or systems, methods, and software providing abilities to automatically generate a test plan that mitigates risk involved in testing less than an entirety of a software system following modification. Some embodiments operate to allow a user to influence the scope of an optimized test plan while also reducing a number of tests and test execution effort involved. Such embodiments may identify portions of the software system to test and portions of the software system that will not be tested in a manner that reduces a total testing effort involved. Reductions in testing effort are performed in generation of the test plan in view of testing preferences which are utilized not only to reduce the total effort in executing a test plan, but also does so to optimize the test plan.

Project schedules do not include tasks for Globalization. This method defines and automatically creates globalization tasks that are to be performed during the development of an international product. In this method, a table is created containing various volumes of data and the amount of time required to translate each volume of data. For each volume of data, there is a corresponding translation productivity rate. When a globalization schedule is desired, a user inputs to the method of the present invention, a start date for the Globalization test effort and the date of the product release to manufacturing date. A user then moves the pointer of the constant representing a defined volume of data to the cell in the volume of data table to the volume that corresponds to their current volume for their product. The method then determines the amount of time needed to perform the globalization translation of the volume of data. The method then generates a globalization task schedule within a product development project. In addition, the present invention automatically creates an overall schedule and status report of milestones suitable for team and managerial distribution.

Deployment of new elements in a computer network can result in development of patch kits adapters, and other software and trigger corresponding regressive test efforts. In a storage area network, a method is disclosed for defining a general, extensible model of a manageable entity for use in management of the entity. The method includes obtaining a set of attribute values related to the manageable entity in relation to the storage area network. A deployment engine identifies corresponding entity categories within a storage area network entity model that contains attribute definitions that correspond to respective attribute values in the set of attribute values obtained from the manageable entity. The deployment engine assigns the respective attribute values of the manageable entity to the corresponding respective attribute definitions identified in the model. The deployment engine then determines if all attribute values of the manageable entity have been assigned. If unassigned attribute values remain, a classification processor defines new entity categories to contain new attribute definitions, and assigns the unassigned attributes value to the new attribute definitions contained in the new entity category.
