Abstract: A method for starting a level of testing on a first package file is disclosed. The method receives, via an application programming interface, at a plugin, a request to start the level of testing on the first package file. The method further modifies, by the plugin, the memory data structure utilized for the testing in middleware, to register a code coverage tool used to perform the testing at the level on the first package file. The method further launches the code coverage tool to start the level of testing by replacing the first package file with the second package file that has been modified and instrumented by the code coverage tool. The method further adds the code coverage tool as a dependency for the second package file.

Abstract: A technique for testing software includes monitoring whether a predefined event occurs in a software test instance. In response to occurrence of the predefined event, different types of snapshots of the software test instance are generated according to a property of the event. The snapshots are used to record a state of the software test instance when the predefined event occurs. The different types of snapshots are stored in information related to the predefined event.

Abstract: A mobile device receives a latest version of firmware with a firmware management system that manages firmware and receives a current version of firmware in an image forming apparatus through close-range communication with the image forming apparatus. The mobile device determines whether or not a later version than the current version of firmware in the image forming apparatus exists based on the latest version of firmware and the current version of firmware that are received.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for managing resources in a server environment. The method includes determining, by one or more processors, to shut down a first resource consumer, wherein the first resource consumer is assigned a first virtual resource with a first set of one or more host resources. It is determined, by one or more processors, whether a second virtual resource assigned to a second resource consumer requires the first set of one or more host resources. If the second virtual resource assigned to the second resource consumer does not require the first set of one or more host resources, it is determined, by one or more processors, not to deactivate the one or more host resources assigned to the first virtual resource.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for automatically determining configuration properties of a compiler. One of the methods includes determining that an executable of the newly created process is a compiler called by the build system to compile source code of a source code file. In response to the determining, a plurality of configuration properties of the compiler called by the build system are determined, the configuration properties including first properties of a plurality of built-in functions of the compiler, second properties of a plurality of built-in types of the compiler, or both.

Abstract: In an approach for error and solution tracking a processor identifies that a first occurrence of a first error is present in code. A processor tracks a first set of actions made to the code which affect the first occurrence of the first error. A processor determines that the first occurrence of the first error has been resolved. A processor records the first error and the first set of actions to the code. A processor identifies that a second occurrence of the first error is present in the code. A processor determines that the first error has previously occurred. A processor retrieves the first set of actions. A processor causes the first set of actions to be made to the code to affect the second occurrence of the first error.

Abstract: An approach to creating a canonical representation of a JavaScript API. Objects associated with the JavaScript API are instantiated, creating entry points for analysis. A list of discovered objects is created based on parsing a document object model associated with the JavaScript API. The objects are instrumented and statically analyzed, creating an infrastructure associated with the JavaScript API. The infrastructure is updated based on analyzing the objects while the interface is being used and the objects are executing. A canonical representation, based on the updated infrastructure, is generated for further operations.

Based, at least in part, on the monitoring, a status of the first benchmark with respect to the first set of one or more software deployments is determined. Report data that indicates the status of the first benchmark is then generated and displayed.
