Abstract: Systems and methods are migration assistance using compiler metadata. An example system includes a data module that receives data associated with a compiler. The data includes a set of rules associated with the compiler. The example system also includes an extraction module that extracts from the data, compiler metadata including the set of rules associated with the compiler. The example system further includes a database that stores the compiler metadata. The example system also includes a patch module that receives a program including source code, retrieves from the database the compiler metadata, and generates, without compiling the received program, a set of migration patches based on the received program and the compiler metadata.

Abstract: A method for dynamically transforming bytecode of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bootstrap classes during program startup uses a JVM agent to intercept startup of a JVM compliant computer program to transform the bytecode of already loaded JVM bootstrap classes and store the resulting set of modified bootstrap classes. Subsequently, the JVM Agent intercepts all class loading events to transform the bytecode of classes declaring special program startup method “<clinit>”, by inserting bytecode at the beginning of the method to invoke a callback method declared within the JVM Agent and passing the arguments passed to the JVM upon program startup as callback method parameters. Subsequently, when the callback method intercepts the execution flow of the computer program, the callback method starts a second JVM instance, passing parameters including the obtained input parameters, the main method arguments, and a JVM input argument for accessing the stored set of modified bootstrap classes.

Abstract: A terminal device that is this program generating device generates program area specifying information that specifies the placement area of an operating program executed by a remote control device. Also, on the basis of the program area specifying information and a program counter value of the remote control device, the terminal device appends a program specifying process that specifies the operating program executed by the remote control device to a measuring program that measures the execution state of the operating program. As a result, there is generated a measuring program that measures changes in the operating state of software in real time while reducing the effect on the operation of the software.

The host environment populates the dynamic object with a top-level namespace of the static namespace. The dynamic objects are defined such that a request for a member a member of the namespace lazily populates the static metadata into a projected sub-namespace object or a projected type object.

The method may include receiving a definition of a business process, and transforming the definition of the business process into a web application package, where the transformation is performed automatically without requiring a user to specify deployment descriptors for executing the business process as a web application.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for tracking and analyzing defect density by source file or module. Defect density is the number of distinct defects which required changes to be made (to fix the defect) to a particular file or module in a given period of time. This metric is very useful for identifying the most critical areas of weakness of the system and hence the areas where additional investment/action may be taken. For example, this metric can be used to prioritize the area in which unit tests should be written, for which additional automated system tests should be written or which a project should be undertaken to re-write the error prone file or module to improve its quality and maintainability.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for analyzing computer programs written in semi-structured languages are disclosed. The method is based on unification of the two classic forms of program flow analysis, control flow and data flow analysis. As such, it is capable of substantially increased precision, which increases the effectiveness of applications such as automated parallelization and software testing. Certain implementations of the method are based on a process of converting source code to a decision graph and transforming that into one or more alpha graphs which support various applications in software development. The method is designed for a wide variety of digital processing platforms, including highly parallel machines. The method may also be adapted to the analysis of (semi-structured) flows in other contexts including water systems and electrical grids.

Abstract: A system and method may generate unit tests for source code concurrently with API documentation. The system may receive a source code file including several comments sections. Each comments section may include a description of a source code unit such as a class, method, member variable, etc. The description may also correspond to input and output parameters the source code unit. The system and method may parsing the source code file to determine a source code function type corresponding to the unit description and copy the unit description to a unit test stub corresponding to the function type. A developer or another module may then complete the unit test stub to transform each stub into a complete unit test corresponding to the source code unit. Additionally, the system and method may execute the unit test and generate a test result indication for each unit test.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention identifies differences between source codes (e.g. of different versions of a software), when each source code is organized using incorporated files. In one embodiment, in response to receiving identifiers of a first and second source codes (each source code being organized as a corresponding set of code files), listings of the instructions in the first and second source codes are constructed. Each listing is constructed, for example, by replacing each incorporate statement in the source code with instructions stored in a corresponding one of code files. The differences between the first and second source codes are then found by comparing the constructed listings of instructions.

Abstract: Technology disclosed herein includes a method for loading a network specific operating system (OS) onto a computing device depending on a specific network the computing device is connected to. The computing device can connect to multiple networks, e.g., different networks at different times or multiple networks simultaneously. When the computing device switches from a first network to a second network, an OS specific to the second network is automatically installed on the computing device. When the computing device connects to more than one network simultaneously policies may be defined to determine which specific OS distribution is to be installed on the computing device.
