Abstract: A method for diagnosing graphics display problems during running of an application comprises: selecting a frame of the application drawn by a graphics processing unit; instructing 103 a central processing unit to draw the frame; and comparing 104 the graphics processing unit drawn frame and the central processing unit drawn frame to determine if there is a graphics problem. A graphics problem may be indicated if the frames do not match. The method may provide technical feedback whilst playing a personal computer game.

Abstract: A Method and system for refining hierarchies in object-oriented models which comprise i) providing a business object model in the form of an object-oriented model having one or more members with multiple distinct verbalizations (synonyms); ii) identifying distinct verbalizations of a given business object model member; iii) reviewing existing rules of the business object model to produce mappings of the distinct verbalizations and any attributes or operations used in conjunction with the distinct verbalizations of members of the business object model; iv) analysing the mappings to identify patterns of use of the distinct verbalizations; and vi) categorising a distinct verbalization as a superclass or subclass. The step of producing mappings produces tuples of the form (a1, a2, and a3) wherein a1 is the distinct verbalization used, a2 is the attribute or operation used in conjunction with a1 and a3 is the number of occurrences of the combination of a1 and a2.
