Abstract: The execution-time reporting of telemetry of execution of a software program. Subscribers submit subscriptions to telemetry of the software program. As each subscription is received, the telemetry scope of the subscription is evaluated to determine what portion of an object model is to be augmented. The augmented portion will include portion(s) related to the scope of telemetry subscribed to in the subscription. Thereafter, that portion of the object model is indeed augmented as execution of the computer program proceeds further. Subsequently, telemetry reports are generated for a subscription based on the interpretation of a defined subscription-specific portion of the object model.

Abstract: A firmware updating system and method are provided. The firmware updating method includes configuring a host to digitally sign a firmware to be updated, and configuring an electronic device to perform an authorization verification on an update tool, and only the update tool that passes the verification has an update permission.

After the encryption is completed, the host sends the update tool to the electronic device through the update tool. The electronic device then uses a decryption algorithm to decrypt the received firmware to obtain the firmware to be updated including the digital signature, and write the firmware to be updated into a firmware storage area to be updated. The electronic device then verifies the digital signature in the firmware to be updated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for bug fix recovery in an electronic device connected to a network. If a bug affecting a deployed electronic device is discovered, bug fix instructions for fixing, mitigating, or recovering from the bug, including rules and executable actions, can be stored in a cloud based server in communication with a deployed electronic device. Each set of instructions is associated with one or more identifiers of devices, firmware versions, and/or software versions that are affected by the bug. The server can be configured to query deployed electronic devices, and/or the deployed electronic devices can be configured to query the server to determine if a bug fix that is relevant to the electronic device has been stored on the server. Instructions can then be transmitted to the electronic device for execution or for display or announcement to a user (if user action is required).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for testing a software application. User interactions with the functional and non-functional aspects of software applications are monitored. User experience profiles are then generated for the monitored users based on the monitored interactions. The best user experiences in connection with interacting with specific functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are then identified based on the generated user experience profiles. Virtual users having different types of best user experiences in connection with interacting with different functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are created. The software application is then tested using the virtual users to determine if the functional and non-functional aspects of the software application satisfy the best user experiences associated with the virtual users.

Abstract: When significant latency exists between a test device executing an application and a remote device used to debug the application, an intermediate device is used to receive requests from the remote device. When a first request is received, the intermediate device determines other requests that are related to the first request, sequentially sends the other requests to the test device, and receives a response after each request, using a wired connection or a wireless network having lower latency than wireless communication between the remote device and the test device. The intermediate device then sends each of the responses to the remote device. The remote device stores the responses. The remote device is then able to use the stored data to determine responses for subsequent requests.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for determining whether or not the legitimacy of an algorithm generated by LCPS during operation is established by generating the super-language context of LCPS from the LCPS to be verified by the generalized method of the present invention without using any verification data, and analyzing it by the generalized method of the present invention. With this method, all bug events that LCPS develops during operation are revealed as bug syntaxes in the generalized method of the present invention. If there is no bug syntax in LCPS, the algorithm generated by LCPS when operating is legitimate. The above-described method may be performed manually or by a computer according to a dedicated program.

Abstract: Provided is a method for facilitating for facilitating monitoring of development of software products. The actions/activities executed during the stages of a product development for a software product are tracked. Further, each activity log associated with a corresponding activity is tagged to indicate an association of a corresponding activity log with one of the stages. The activities are further classified into one of a value-added activity or a non-value added activity, based on each activity log. The development of the software product is thus monitored by way of a value stream map that is generated based on the classification of each activity. The value stream map is indicative of an efficiency score for each of the stages.
