1. Design and develop auxiliary tools for quality assurance

Designed, planed and developed more Java independent programs to simulate the customer mobile planning tools, in a regressive quality assurance environment.

The suite consists in more part, each of them designated for a certain test tool: A JDBC CSV driver was developed in order to change CSV file sets. The start point of the development was the xlsql driver, adapted to support a larger variety of CSV sub-formats. A framework to change MCCM files and their derivate, used by a leading German phone company, based on XPath queries and DOM XML parsing. A command line tool to compute a MCCM planning tool output file, based on two different stages. The tool computes the transition between the two stages and sets the MCCM modifiers. A command line tool to simulate the KMS planning tool delta output. The delta is computed based on initial and current stages. A command line tool to change the Netcop/TNPC format file using an SQL statement.

The program checks if the invalid dependencies are defined, like package P1 needs package P2 and package P2 should not be installed together with P1. It also checks the installation orders, for each computer or organisational unit, if all dependencies are satisfied.

17. Empirum Digital Rights Management (DRM)

The product is a big collection of DRM tools. DRM-Internet consists of two parts, first is a virtual drive which ca store data and only allows certain applications to read and write files on the drives. The second part is a software rent shop. Customers are paying not for a classical "eternal" license, but for the time of usage. DRM-LAN is a system designed for corporate usage, it disallows usage of certain Applications (like games), even if they are renamed.

The NT-device driver was developed with Microsoft Visual C++ and DDK (Driver Developer Kit). If a customer buys and downloads an MP3 file, but his/her usage license only allows hearing of the song then the user will not be able to save the file to the classical hard disk, therefore he/she will be unable to re-distribute it. The MP3 file will reside on the special drive, where only the MP3 player application can read. The software rent shop makes an internal change to each EXE file which is offered for renting. This change (code injection) computes the usage times together with a service running on customer side. The network surveillance module is a service that inspects the user processes. When a process is found in the "black-list" it will be immediately terminated.
