  • Patent number: 11656975
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for automatically generating tests in Gherkin format are disclosed. A repository stores open application programming interface (API) specification definition file corresponding to an application. A processor accesses the repository to obtain the open API specification definition file as input data. A receiver receives the input data. The processor parses, in response to received input data, the specification to collect data from the open API specification definition file; structures the collected data into a data frame object; implements a processing logic to derive applicable tests using a predefined template; implements the tests by utilizing the predefined template; and automatically generates, based on the implemented tests, corresponding test cases in an executable Gherkin syntax. This process of automatically executing testing of the application based on the functional tests is performed, for example, on a Kubernetes platform.

  • Patent number: 11650886
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for orchestrating operations between a storage environment and a computing environment hosting virtual machines. A virtual machine proxy, associated with a computing environment hosting a virtual machine, is accessed by an orchestrator to identify the virtual machine and properties of the virtual machine. A storage proxy, associated with a storage environment comprising a volume within which snapshots of the virtual machine are to be stored, is accessed by the orchestrator to initialize a backup procedure. The orchestrator utilizes the virtual machine proxy to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The orchestrator utilizes the storage proxy to back up the snapshot to the volume using the backup procedure.

  • Patent number: 11650888
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for workflow error handling for device driven management. A workflow can be received from a management service by a management agent. The workflow can define a sequence of actions to be implemented by the management agent on a client device and a set of error conditions associated with individual actions in the sequence of actions. The management agent can then process the individual actions in the sequence of actions defined by the workflow. Subsequently, the management agent can monitor the individual actions to determine whether the individual actions trigger an error condition in the set of error conditions. Finally, in response to a determination that the individual actions triggered the error condition in the set of error conditions, the management agent can perform an error response specified by the workflow.

  • Patent number: 11650870
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for monitoring operation of and/or interaction with a website to detect events (“frustration events”). In at least one embodiment, a detection system is disclosed that can monitor a website for the same or unrelated interaction and operation to detect events that affect the performance of a website, while contributing to the frustration of user interaction with the website. The detection system can monitor interaction with and/or operation of one or more documents of a website. Interactions with a website, operations of the website, or a combination thereof, may be assessed with respect to a threshold defining an event. One or more criteria (e.g., a time period) of the event may be assessed for the interactions and operations. Event data may be generated for the event(s) that occur, and the event data may be sent to a host system to adjust operation of the website.

  • Patent number: 11625310
    Abstract: Computing systems, devices, and associated methods of detecting application regression in a distributed computing system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data representing telemetry records from one or more hosts of the distributed computing system. At least some of the telemetry records are exception records individually indicating an operation by a user application has failed during execution. The method also includes determining a failure rate of executing the operation by the user application while compensating for a workload of the user application in the distributed computing system. A comparison is performed between the determined failure rate and a threshold. Based on the performed comparison, a regression notification can be generated to indicate that application regression has occurred notwithstanding the workload of the user application in the distributed computing system.

  • Patent number: 11615001
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for incrementally restoring a virtual machine hosted by a computing environment. In response to receiving an indication that the virtual machine is to be incrementally restored, a snapshot of the virtual machine may be created while the virtual machine is shut down into an off state. The snapshot is transmitted to a storage environment as a common snapshot. The snapshot and the common snapshot are common snapshots comprising a same representation of the virtual machine. The common snapshot and a prior snapshot of the virtual machine are evaluated to identify a data difference of the virtual machine between the common snapshot and the prior snapshot. An incremental restore is performed of the virtual machine by transmitting the data difference from the storage environment to the computing environment to restore the virtual machine to a state represented by the prior snapshot.

  • Patent number: 11609704
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing the representation of outliers in a distribution of telemetry data of a monitored system are provided. According to one embodiment, telemetry data of the monitored system may be continuously collected. Frequency values representing a frequency of occurrence of corresponding telemetry data of the collected telemetry data may be generated by aggregating the collected telemetry data. As the vast majority of telemetry data is expected to represent a normal operating state of the system and relatively few, if any, of the telemetry data (e.g., outliers) will be indicative of one or more events of significance, the resulting distribution of the frequency values is highly skewed. In order to facilitate visualization of the distribution that accentuates the outliers, display characteristics may be calculated for the frequency values by applying a visualization model based on a weighted combination of multiple data transformations to each of the frequency values.
