Test Harness The Test Harness is used for automating the process of testing invocation points. As the business logic are getting more complex a significant number of test cases must be created to cover all possible execution paths and possible variations. This test harness will help accomplishing this by simplifying the creation and execution of test cases. This test harness has great benefits if the input and output has many attributes and the flow within the invocation point has many different flows. Please note that this is a framework that can be used out of the box, but usually all projects have specific requirements; therefore some customization to the code is probably required. This program is written in standard Java v1.4+ and will run as a standalone application. It is written in a fashion that if desired it can be used for testing any invocation point that accepts an xml string as input and output. It can also be used as a starting point if the invocation point is not a WS. 
The input and output is defined in a MS Excel file. XPath is used to define the location of the attribute. 
The program will then generate the input XML based on this information. When the program is processing the test cases the output is written to a separate MS Excel file and timestamped. All input and output XML is written to disk. To use this application, do the following:

Command Line Stress Test Harness This command line application can be used to stress test an invocation point. You specify number of threads (simultaneous users), how many iterations to execute and max number of invocations. This application is provided as a framework, it is up to you to customize it to your needs. All you have to do is put in the work that has to be done (methods to invoke) and you have a testing framework up and running. It is written in Java

This application is provided as a framework, it is up to you to customize it to your needs. All you have to do is put in the work that has to be done (methods to invoke) and you have a testing framework up and running. This application is written in MS C#.

DB to HSQL In-Memory DB table loader For performance reasons it makes sense to keep everything in memory instead of having to access file systems or remote resources, for those reasons db access is usually slower. I have written some utility classes that access a source DB and automatically load a DB table into a HSQL In-Memory table. The only thing you need to specify is the table name and the in-memory table is created and all data is loaded into the new in-memory DB table. Since you will be keeping the data in-memory, you should analyse your dataset first and see if it is feaseble to use these utilities or not. By using these approach I saw impsressive performance improvements for DB access below 0.5ms. As always, there are room for improvements:

Web based Photo Album This site's photo album section is using this code. It is written in PHP, contains three main components, the photoalbum.php where the main logic is located, the photo_data.php is where the photos to be displayed is entered manually, and the file photoalbum_constants.php that contains the constants. To use this application, do the following:
