RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Our Mission in R&D
Major Achievements in Fiscal 2007
(1) The world’s first technology for automatic
verification of Java-based, practical-use
web applications
Fujitsu pioneered core technology for automatic verification of
Java-based practical-use web applications. This technology
eliminates the need to manually prepare detailed test proce-
dures and data by automatically extracting and coding the veri-
fication procedures and test data, and then performing
exhaustive and automatic testing to verify that a web applica-
tion can operate according to specification. This technology
helps programmers develop high-quality software more quickly
by making it possible to perform comprehensive tests encom-
passing a range of use scenarios.
(2) FCMDB supports international standards to
enhance IT systems management
We developed a Federated Configuration Management Data-
base (FCMDB) to automatically correlate and integrate the vari-
ous forms of IT system operation management information that
exist for various objectives, including server management and
network management. FCMDB will make it possible to observe
and manage a wide array of configuration information on a
single screen, from multiple types of information on hardware to
details of service to clients. This will help reduce operational
management costs and provide a stable platform for the man-
agement of IT systems. In addition, together with five major
vendors and, we are currently working towards international
standardization of the basic specifications of the FCMDB.
