SOFTWARE REGRESSION FACILITY
First Claim
1. A method of a regression manager for providing a regression operation to a software application executable in a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving registration information for a regression callback function from a software application, the regression callback function providing a regression facility for the software application;
receiving an action parameter for a regressable action from the software application, the action parameter comprising an argument for use by the regression callback function to regress the regressable action; and
in response to a request to provide a regression operation for the software application, calling the regression callback function for the software application.

10. A regression manager apparatus for providing a regression operation to a software application executable in a computer system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first receiver for receiving registration information for a regression callback function from a software application, the regression callback function providing a regression facility for the software application; a second receiver receiving an action parameter for a regressable action from the software application, the action parameter comprising an argument for use by the regression callback function to regress the regressable action; and a function caller for, in response to a request to provide a regression operation for the software application, calling the regression callback function for the software application. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer system comprising:
-
a central processing unit; a memory subsystem; an input/output subsystem; a bus subsystem interconnecting the central processing unit, the memory subsystem, the input/output subsystem; and an apparatus configured to operate in conjunction with the central processing unit for providing a regression operation to a software application executable in the computer system, the apparatus being further configured to; receive registration information for a regression callback function from a software application, the regression callback function providing a regression facility for the software application, receive an action parameter for a regressable action from the software application, the action parameter comprising an argument for use by the regression callback function to regress the regressable action, and in response to a request to provide a regression operation for the software application, call the regression callback function for the software application.

20. A computer-readable medium comprising computer program code that, when loaded into a computer system and executed thereon, causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
receiving registration information for a regression callback function from a software application, the regression callback function providing a regression facility for the software application; receiving an action parameter for a regressable action from the software application, the action parameter comprising an argument for use by the regression callback function to regress the regressable action; and in response to a request to provide a regression operation for the software application, calling the regression callback function for the software application.
