Abstract: Techniques for encoding node locations are provided. In some examples, a node in a hierarchy such as a document object model (DOM) may be expressed as a location path from the root node of the hierarchy to the node. Each node on the location path may be encoded using a mapping between the type and/or index of the node and a set of characters such as ASCII characters. The encoding of each node on the path be concatenated to form the encoded location path. The encoding seeks to minimize the length of the encoded location path. For example, in an embodiment, a single ASCII character may be used to encode both the type and the index of a node. In an embodiment, breakpoint locations may be encoded using methods provided to reduce storage and computing resource required.

Abstract: Trace data streams are generated for tracing target processor activity. Various trace data streams are synchronized using markers called sync points. The sync points provide a unique identifier field and a context to the data that will follow it. All trace data streams may generate a sync point with this unique identifier. These unique identifiers allow synchronization between multiple trace data streams. When multiple trace data streams are on, it is possible that the data input rate may be higher than the data output rate. If synchronization is lost in such a case, there must be a scheme to resynchronize the streams. This invention is a technique for this needed resynchronization.

Abstract: A server system provided according to an aspect of the present disclosure receives validation rules for fields of a form, and stores the validation rules as metadata in a memory. When values are later received based on the form, the values are validated using the rules in the metadata. Any errors detected are notified to a user system from which the values are received. The values are forwarded to a corresponding application if no errors are detected. According to another aspect, a developer of the application provides an initial set of validation rules prior to the application being deployed at a customer site. The customer then specifies additional rules. The metadata stores both the initial rules and the additional rules. A user interface module validates each received value against any applicable rules present in the metadata.

Abstract: Consumer electronic devices, such as e.g. high-definition movie players for removable storage media such as optical discs, may provide possibilities for advanced interactivity for the user, implemented as software applications. A question arising generally with such software applications is what the life cycle of such an application is, and who may control it. The invention provides a method for executing software applications within a playback device for audio-video data, wherein data from a first removable storage medium are read for a software application to be executed within said playback device, and the data comprise an indication defining a termination condition for the application. Based on said termination code and depending on how the medium holding the application is ejected, the application is terminated or may survive.

Abstract: A high level programming language provides a nested communication operator that partitions a computational space. An indexable type with a rank and element type defines the computational space. The nested communication operator partitions a specified dimension of an index indexable type into segments specified by a segmentation vector and returns an output indexable type that represents the segments. By doing so, the nested communication operator allows data parallel algorithms to operate on the segments as individual units.

The method can include statically instrumenting program code, recording potential data segments during the instrumentation of the program code, executing the instrumented program code, determining whether or not each of the recorded potential data segments can be resolved, and noting resolved ones of the recorded potential data segments.

Abstract: Techniques are described for updating applications installed on devices. The applications may include native applications having a web view component to handle interpreted language instructions. The applications may also include web applications executable within a browser. A message may be sent to a computing device, the message including update information specifying one or more updates to the state or the features of an application. The update information may be described using interpreted language instructions. To handle the updates to an application in instances when the application is inactive, a stand-alone interpreter engine may be employed instead of the web view component or instead of the interpreter engine included in a browser. Use of the stand-alone interpreter engine may mitigate possible performance effects or intrusive user interface elements from launching the web view component or the browser-based interpreter engine to perform update operations.

Abstract: The system and method presented provides a multi-phase, end-to-end integrated process for testing application software using a standard software testing tool. The system and method involve integrating the functional, automated regression and performance phases of software application testing by leveraging deliverables at each phase so that the deliverables may be efficiently reused in subsequent test phases. Deliverables such as functional and technical test conditions and manual test scripts are used as inputs for each phase of the integrated tests. The use of leveraged requirements-based deliverables between test phases significantly reduces much of the repetitive testing typically associated with functionality and performance testing and minimizes repetition of testing errors discovered in earlier test phases.
