Abstract: Assisting a user in developing a software program. A program code of the software program being under development is monitored to identify each code portion of the program code matching a matched one of a plurality of code patterns. A search request is submitted for searching, among a plurality of available services provided by corresponding service providers for the code patterns, each eligible service for the matched code pattern. An indication of at least one eligible service being found is received when a result of the search is positive, prompting the user to select a replacement service among the at least one eligible service in response to the positive result of the search. The code portion is replaced with an invocation of the replacement service on the corresponding service provider.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for storage virtual machine relocation (e.g., ownership change) between storage clusters. For example, operational statistics of a first storage cluster and a second storage cluster may be evaluated to identify a set of load balancing metrics. Ownership of one or more storage aggregates and/or one or more storage virtual machines may be changed (e.g., permanently changed for load balancing purposes or temporarily changed for disaster recovery purposes) between the first storage cluster and the second storage cluster utilizing zero-copy ownership change operations based upon the set of load balancing metrics. For example, if the first storage cluster is experiencing a relatively heavier load of client I/O operations and the second storage cluster has available resources, ownership of a storage aggregate and a storage virtual machine may be switched from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster for load balancing.

Abstract: Automated generation, or completion, or checking of source code is described whereby a probabilistic model having been trained using a corpus of natural source code examples is used.

In various examples, source code analysis may comprise syntactic structure, type information and other data about source code. In various examples, the trained probabilistic model is used to predict sequences of source code elements. For example, to generate source code, to auto-complete source code, to error check source code, to error correct source code or for other purposes.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a bundle loader is run in response to a communication from an application. The communication may indicate that the plurality of bundles of components in the application is to be executed. The plurality of bundles may include at least one bundle having a component that depends on a dependency component in another of the plurality of bundles. A configuration file indicating a set of the plurality of bundles to load in the bundle loader is received. The bundle loader is operated to load a bundle manifest for each bundle in the set of the plurality of bundles to load. Then, for each of the bundles in the set of plurality of bundles to load, the bundle is activated if no unactivated dependency component exists for any component in the bundle.

A plurality of transaction data from a transaction device is received. A second user identification based on the received transaction data is generated. An installation status of the application on the first user device based on the generated second user identification and the absence of the first user identification is also generated.

Abstract: A streams manager monitors data tuples processed by a streaming application represented by an operator graph. The streams manager includes a tuple breakpoint mechanism that allows defining a tuple breakpoint that fires based on resource usage by the data tuple. When the tuple breakpoint fires, one or more operators in the operator graph are halted according to specified halt criteria. Information corresponding to the breakpoint that fired is then displayed. The tuple breakpoint mechanism thus provides a way to debug a streaming application based on resource usage by data tuples.

Abstract: Testing computer software applications includes comparing multiple execution paths associated with multiple interactions performed with a computer software application during execution of the computer software application in order to determine which of the execution paths are similar in accordance with a predefined similarity criterion, identifying a subset of the interactions whose associated execution paths are similar in accordance with the predefined similarity criterion, and performing fewer than all of the interactions in the subset with the computer software application during execution of the computer software application.

Abstract: Methods and a system are provided. A method includes implementing a function, which a compiler for a first language does not have, using a compiler for a second language. The implementing step includes generating, by the compiler for the first language, a first abstract syntax tree. The implementing step further includes converting, by a converter, the first abstract syntax tree to a second abstract syntax tree of the compiler for the second language using a conversion table from data representation types in the first language to data representation types in the second language. When a compilation error occurs, the implementing step also includes generating a special node for error processing in the second abstract syntax tree and storing an error token in the special node. When unparsing, the implementing step additionally includes outputting the error token, in the form of source code written in the first language.
