Abstract: An application development platform transmits to a content provider system instructions that provide a user interface for developing an application that specifies a first multi-step communication flow between a communications device and a communications system. The platform receives from parameters of a program functionality for inclusion in the application, and selects one or more recommended program modules based on the parameters. The platform transmits instructions that provide a user interface for displaying the one or more recommended program modules. The platform receives data indicating a user selection of a particular program module. In response, the platform transmits instructions that provide a user interface for enabling user configuration of the particular program module.

Abstract: A processor includes a front end and a scheduler. The front end includes circuitry to determine whether to apply an acyclical or cyclical thread assignment scheme to code received at the processor, and to, based upon a determined thread assignment scheme, assign code to a static logical thread and to a rotating logical thread. The scheduler includes circuitry to assign the static logical thread to the same physical thread upon a subsequent control flow execution of the static logical thread, and to assign the rotating logical thread to different physical threads upon different executions of instructions in the rotating logical thread.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, a selection of one or more files for which to have one or more automated unit tests generated for an application under test. An action in the application under test is received while the application under test is used. Behavior data of how the application under test responds to the action is tracked, wherein tracking is performed by inserting observer code using aspect oriented programming method, which tracks each method's interaction with its own objects and objects that are passed to it. An automated unit test of the one or more automated unit tests is generated for underlying code of the application under test invoked when receiving the action based upon, at least in part, the behavior data of how the application under test responds to the action.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides system for facilitating replacement of a system function in an application with a customized function. During operation, the system shifts an existing load command in a file of an application to accommodate an additional load command. The system also adds the additional load command to the file. The additional load command identifies additional instructions that change a pointer of the application from a value that points to a system function to another value that points to a customized function.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating code for real-time stream processing, where data is streamed in tuples, and where each tuple has a timestamp and a value. One or more processors receive source code. The source code includes: code to be applied in a sequential series to one or more tuples; a definition of a size of a sequence of tuples to be processed as a processing window; and a size of a sequence of earlier tuples that a current tuple depends upon as a dependence window. Processor(s) generate the code for real-time stream processing by: buffering received time sequence tuples in a buffer in accordance with the processing window and the dependence window; and converting the code to be sequentially applied to the one or more tuples into code for buffered tuples with a loop construct.

Abstract: A system and method supports reusing model components or component artifacts in a first modeling environment where the model components or artifacts were created in a second environment. An interface to the model components or artifacts from the first modeling environment is analyzed, and compared to an interface from the second environment. A wrapper object is constructed to convert between differences identified among the two interfaces. Utilizing the wrapper object, the model components or component artifacts are reused in the second environment.

In response to assigning the second state, a determination is made whether to perform a merge of the one or more source code files and one or more of the source code files. The merge is one of a vertical merge and a horizontal merge.

Abstract: An interface mechanism is provided for developers to bundle together a set of extensions (or add-ins) to a productivity suite allowing end users and system administrators to manage their lifecycle in a unified way. Aspects such as discovery, acquisition, authorization deployment, management, updates, and similar ones may be addressed for the bundle as opposed to each of the different extensions (for example extensions for different versions of the same application such as desktop version, web application version, mobile version, etc.). Bundles may also provide a means to match specific functional sets or commercial offerings to specific user or customer profiles.
