Abstract: A method includes accessing, by a computing device, an event machine of an application running on a user device; determining, by the computing device, an event polling stage of the event machine is occurring; measuring, by the computing device, an event polling stage time of the event polling stage; causing, by the computing device, a thread of the application to take a snapshot of the application in response to determining the event polling stage; measuring, by the computing device, a snapshot time for the snapshot of the application; determining, by the computing device, whether the snapshot time is less than or equal to the event polling stage time; causing, by the computing device, the thread of the application to take a new snapshot in response to determining a new event polling stage; and causing, by the computing device, an alternate thread of the application to take the new snapshot.

Abstract: A transient input/output in progress state is established during processing of an input/output testcase by a test infrastructure in a computing environment. The method includes obtaining the input/output testcase for an object having one or more pages, and processing the input/output testcase by the test infrastructure. Processing the input/output testcase by the test infrastructure includes, for a page of the object, generating a delay in the processing of the input/output testcase for the page of the object. The delay opens a transient input/output in progress state during which one or more concurrent test operations are to reference the page of the object.

Abstract: Described are techniques for evaluating technology add-ons used with a data intake and query system to identify errors that may be present in or associated with configuration files defining the functions of the technology add-on or with operation of the technology add-on. For example, the technology add-on may be used to provide searching of event data stored by the data intake and query system using a late-binding schema, where the technology add-on provides for formalized interpretation of non-standard event data according to a user- or vendor-defined scheme. The disclosed techniques can identify errors and determine if the technology add-on is compliant with a schema definition for a common information model.

Abstract: A system and method for remote testing of enterprise software applications (ESA) allows one or more testers to remotely access an ESA and remotely test the ESA. In at least one embodiment, the ESA resides in a testing platform that includes one more computers that are provisioned for testing. “Provisioning” a computer system (such as one or more servers) refers to preparing, configuring, and equipping the computer system to provide services to one or more users. In at least one embodiment, the computer system is provisioned to create an ESA operational environment in accordance with a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) template interacting with virtualization software.

Abstract: A computing device includes a hardware switch that is activated when a primary Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a first BIOS chip of the device fails to load an Operating System (OS) image from an OS partition of a hard drive. The switch passes control to a backup BIOS that executes from a backup BIOS chip. The backup BIOS loads a recovery image from BIOS recovery partition of the hard drive, which causes a reflash application to execute from the recovery image. Reflash application obtains a recovery BIOS from the BIOS recovery partition of the hard drive, reflashes/writes the recovery BIOS onto the first BIOS chip and reboots the device. Following reboot of the device, recovery BIOS loads the OS image from the OS partition, and recovery BIOS becomes the primary BIOS on the first BIOS chip of the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a non-disruptive planned failover from a primary copy of data at a primary storage cluster to a mirror copy of the data at a cross-site secondary storage cluster without using an external mediator. According to an example, a planned failover feature of a multi-site distributed storage system provides an order of operations such that a primary copy of a first data center continues to serve I/O operations until a mirror copy of a second data center is ready. This planned failover feature improves functionality and efficiency of the distributed storage system by providing non-disruptiveness during planned failover without using an external mediator based on a primary storage cluster being selected as an authority to implement a state machine with a persistent configuration database to track a planned failover state for the planned failover.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for unified regression testing. A first set of inputs configured to test a first scenario and a second set of inputs configured to test a second scenario may be received from a user. The first set of inputs may be used to generate a first set of outputs, and the second set of inputs may be used to generate a second set of outputs. A software update may be received. The first set of outputs may be regenerated using the first set of inputs, and the second set of outputs may be regenerated using the second set of inputs. The regenerated first set of outputs may be compared against the first set of outputs, and the regenerated second set of outputs may be compared against the second set of outputs. The comparison results may then be displayed to the user.

Abstract: A state management server applies configuration information to a set of virtual computer system instances in accordance with one or more limitations specified by an administrator. In an embodiment, the limitations include a velocity parameter that limits the number of virtual computer system instances to which the configuration may be applied concurrently. In an embodiment, the limitations include an error threshold that stops the application of the configuration if the number of configuration failures meets or exceeds the error threshold. In an embodiment, the set of virtual computer systems is identified by providing a list of the individual virtual computer system instances, or by specifying one or more tags that are associated with the virtual computer systems in the set. In an embodiment, the administrator is able to specify that an association be applied according to a predetermined schedule.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to track traffic events and user interface (UI) events in parallel and record a first event of a hybrid test script. The first event may be recorded in a traffic mode to record one or more of the traffic events. The processor may transition from the traffic mode to a UI mode and, responsive to the transition from the traffic mode to the UI mode, may share session data between the traffic events and the UI events. Based on the session data, the processor may record a second event of the hybrid test script in the UI mode.

Abstract: Examples provided herein describe a method for reducing recovery time for an application. For example, a first physical processor of a computing device may monitor, based on a first application instance of the application running in a first mode, for failure detection of the first application instance running on a first computing device.

Based on the determination, the first physical processor may validate that a second application instance can run in the first mode by performing a data integrity compliance check. Responsive to validating that the second application instance can run in the first mode, the first physical processor may facilitate running of the second application instance in the first mode.
