Abstract: Techniques for automated bug detection. A set of inputs are collected and a snapshotting feature is used to apply each input to a test application. Outputs from the test application are gathered and compared to determine whether the outputs are associated with bugs. Comparison can be done with one or more of many different techniques that quantify difference between outputs associated with test inputs and outputs associated with a “happy path input.” Outputs can be grouped together based on these quantifications and the groups can be used to identify outputs most likely to be associated with bugs. The output groups may also be used to group associated inputs to the set of inputs to be used for testing in the future. When a bug is identified, a report could be automatically generated that includes a scoring value as well as recorded output information and could be presented to a user.

Abstract: In an approach for testing a software application on a target system, a computer provides a test framework being executed on a test framework system, the system being coupled with the target system via network and receives a test scenario by the test framework, the scenario including information regarding a software application to be tested, the target system on which said software application should be executed and regarding one or multiple protocols supported by the target system. The computer interprets information included in said scenario by said test framework and deriving properties associated with at least one software application to be generated based on said information interpretation. The computer then generates an executable software application in a programming language, said application being adapted to the target system by using said derived software application properties. The computer triggers execution of said application thereby obtaining test results, and evaluates said results.

Abstract: A method and a related system for identifying unmatched registry entries may be provided. The method may comprise scanning a file system and discovering software based on a file signature, collecting first attributes of the discovered software, collecting native registry entries, and comparing the first attributes against second attributes of the collected registry entries based on a filtering rule. Thereby, the registry entries may be grouped into two groups. One group may represent matched registry entries and the other group may represent unmatched registry entries. The unmatched registry entries may be identified as unequivocal entries for further software discovery.
