  • Patent number: 11899569
    Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.

  • Patent number: 11886869
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a storage in which a first program is stored and an update controller that updates the first program to a second program by use of data obtained from an external device. For each of a plurality of first partial areas obtained by dividing a first storage area storing the first program, the update controller copies a first partial program that is a part of the first program and that is stored in the first storage area to a second storage area and then successively updates the first partial program to a second partial program that is a part of the second program by use of the data. The data is difference information indicating a difference between the first program and the second program. The second storage area has a storage capacity smaller than a storage capacity of the first storage area.

  • Patent number: 11880693
    Abstract: A system is provided for automatically generating electronic artifacts using extended functionality. In particular, the system may use a template-based process to automatically generate artifacts based on a defined set of parameters and/or variables. The system may further use one or more plugins which may provide extended functionality with respect to the artifact generation process. Accordingly, the artifact generation process may include initializing a parameter list based on application parameters and/or plugin parameters, processing the parameters, generating variables based on the parameters, and replacing variables in scheme template files with appropriate values (e.g., user supplied or plugin generated values) to output an artifact file to a predetermined location. In this way, the system provides a robust and efficient way to automatically generate artifacts.

  • Patent number: 11868239
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide techniques for evaluating an asynchronous application using a test framework. The test framework may perform a load test of an asynchronous application or service composed from a collection of applications or services. To do so, the test framework may submit transactions to a distributed application at a specified transaction rate and monitor how the distributed application operates at that transaction rate. An aggregate load test component may evaluate the remaining work pending at work accumulation points of the distributed application to determine whether the distributed application can sustain the specified transaction rate. A transaction tracking component may initiate transactions to generate load at the specified transaction rate without blocking while the transactions are processed by the distributed application.

  • Patent number: 11829278
    Abstract: A method for secure debugging in a multitenant cloud environment where an application server maintains a host application shared by multiple tenant users can be implemented. The method can receive a request from a tenant user to debug the host application associated with a tenant user, and responsive to the request, deploy an application runtime environment comprising an application container encapsulating the host application associated with the tenant user and a debugger container encapsulating a debugging software running on the application server. The method can set at least a breakpoint in source code of the host application through a user interface of the debugging software, run the host application associated with the tenant user in the application runtime environment, and evaluate an expression entered through the user interface of the debugging software after the host application associated with the tenant user hits the breakpoint.

  • Patent number: 11809301
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating an execution plan for performing functional tests in a cloud-computing environment. Infrastructure resources and capabilities (e.g., system requirements) may be defined within an infrastructure object (e.g., a resource of a declarative infrastructure provisioner) that stores a code segment that implements the resource or capability. Metadata may be maintained that indicates what particular capabilities are applicable to each infrastructure resource. Using the metadata, the system can generate an execution plan by combining code segments for each resource with code segments defining each capability in accordance with the metadata. The execution plan may include programmatic instructions that, when executed, generate a set of test results. The system can execute instructions that cause the set of test results to be presented at a user device.

  • Patent number: 11809853
    Abstract: An in-vehicle software updating method includes: acquiring, after starting a software update, a voltage measurement value of an in-vehicle power source; and acquiring a progress rate in the software update in a case in which the voltage measurement value is equal to or less than a second threshold. In a case in which the progress rate is less than a set value, the software update is interrupted. In a case in which the progress rate is equal to or greater than the set value, an operation mode of the zone control unit is switched to a power saving mode, and a second predicted voltage value of the in-vehicle power source at the update completion time is calculated. The software update is continued in a case in which the second predicted voltage value is greater than a first threshold.

  • Patent number: 11805181
    Abstract: Extensions to a source software application are migrated to a target. Template records are constructed containing corresponding sets of attributes for source and target applications. Analysis of a source extension yields source extension attributes. A matching template record is used to map the source extension attributes to corresponding target extension attributes. A proposal for a migrated target extension is formulated, simulated in a sandbox, and committed to the target application. Client interaction supports selection or approval of application versions, proposals, or simulation output. Template records, constructed without knowledge of specific extensions implemented on a particular application instance, are provided to the source application environment, enabling remaining migration operations to be performed locally in source and target environments, maintaining data privacy. Examples are provided for a front-end software application in a database environment.

  • Patent number: 11797417
    Abstract: Disclosed systems relate to propagating tracing across a distributed software application. In an example, an application logs tracing data for a web page from an original server. The application determines, at the web browser, that the web page from the original server requires a request to an external server outside a domain of the original server. The application interrogates the external server to determine whether the external server allows tracing headers in requests. The application updates an allow list, at the web browser, to indicate that the external server allows tracing headers in requests from the original server. The application injects a tracing header in the request based on a result of the interrogation. The application sends, from the web browser to the external server, the request with the tracing header. The external server is configured to log tracing data based on the tracing header.
