Methods and apparatus for representing dynamic data in a software development environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for representing dynamic data in a software development environment, said software development environment being configured to develop software that displays said dynamic data during execution of said software, comprising:
- obtaining an XML sample of said dynamic data;
furnishing a first visual representation of said XML sample in said software development environment, said first visual representation of said XML sample being selectable by a user of said software development environment; and
if said user of said software development environment selects said first visual representation of said XML sample, displaying a second visual representation of said XML sample in a display panel of said software development environment, thereby representing said dynamic data with said second visual representation of said XML sample in said display panel.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for representing dynamic data in a software development environment. The software development environment is configured to develop software that displays the dynamic data during execution of the software. The method includes obtaining an XML sample of the dynamic data. The method further includes furnishing a first visual representation of the XML sample in the software development environment, the first visual representation of the XML sample being selectable by a user of the software development environment. The method additionally includes displaying a second visual representation of the XML sample, if the user of the software development environment selects the first visual representation of the XML sample, in a display panel of the software development environment, thereby representing the dynamic data with the second visual representation of the XML sample in the display panel.

14. A visual development system for creating a computer-implemented script that includes a plurality of dialog segments, said computer-implemented script being configured for use in a computerized interactive transaction system, comprising:
a first panel for displaying, at development time of said script, properties associated with a selected one of said plurality of dialog segments, said properties including at least a dynamic data portion and a path name portion associated with said dynamic data portion, said dynamic data portion representing a sample of dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during execution of said computer-implemented script, said dynamic data portion being visually represented in said first panel by a first visual representation that represents, in a visual manner, an example of said dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during said execution, said path name portion indicating a relative location in a first file where said sample is stored. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An article of manufacture comprising a program storage medium having computer readable code embodied therein, said computer readable code being configured to represent dynamic data in a software development environment, said software development environment being configured to develop software that displays said dynamic data during execution of said software, comprising:
-
computer readable code for obtaining an first sample of said dynamic data, said first sample being stored in a data-describing mark-up language;
computer readable code for furnishing a first visual representation of said first sample in said software development environment, said first visual representation of said first sample being selectable by a user of said software development environment; and
computer readable code for displaying, if said user of said software development environment selects said first visual representation of said first sample, a second visual representation of said first sample in a display panel of said software development environment, thereby representing said dynamic data with said second visual representation of said first sample in said display panel. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A software product implementing a software development system, said software development system being configured for creating a computer-implemented script that includes a plurality of dialog segments, said computer-implemented script being configured for use in a computerized interactive transaction system, said software development system comprising:
a first panel for displaying, at development time of said script, properties associated with a selected one of said plurality of dialog segments, said properties including at least a dynamic data sample, said dynamic data sample representing a sample of dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during execution of said computer-implemented script, said dynamic data sample being visually represented in said first panel by a first visual representation that represents, in a visual manner, an example of said dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during said execution. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
