Publication number: 20140325478Abstract: Provided herein are approaches for generating a visualization of software code using a set of buildings. Specifically, one approach comprises: representing software code using a set of buildings in a virtual city environment, wherein each building of the set of buildings represent a software solution; displaying the set of buildings in the virtual city environment; and displaying a plurality of floors and a plurality of rooms within each of the plurality of floors of the set of buildings, wherein each of the plurality of floors of a building of the set of buildings represents a software component of the software solution represented by the building, and wherein each of the plurality of rooms within each floor of the building represents a different version of the software component represented by the floor of the building.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: Donna N Eng Dillenberger, Sandra K. Johnson, Sharad Mishra, Joan L. Mitchell, Benjamin J. Stoor, David Ward

Patent number: 8381184Abstract: Dynamic test coverage to evaluate an artifact code is provided. Code of an artifact to be tested is identified. The code coverage of the test code is analyzed. The current coverage information is stored. Code coverage information for one or more prior versions of the test code is retrieved. The current coverage information is compared with the prior coverage information. Responsive to a determination that a difference between the current coverage information and the prior coverage information exists, the difference is collected. Responsive to a determination that test cases are to be generated automatically, generating, automatically, new test cases based on the difference. The new test cases are stored. Code coverage of the test code is analyzed based on the new test case. The new coverage information is stored. The new coverage information is sent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sandra K. Johnson, Sharad Mishra, Joan L. Mitchell, Anil Kumar Thiramdas, David Ward

Patent number: 8001100Abstract: A mechanism for locating information about a target entity in disparate multilevel hierarchical knowledge repositories. Upon occurrence of an event associated with a target entity comprising an information technology solution, disparate multilevel hierarchical knowledge repositories are searched for metadata about the target entity. A determination is made from the metadata about the target entity whether the repositories comprise entities related to the target entity. If so, links in the metadata are used to search the repositories to locate the related entities. Upon locating a resolution to the event in the repositories, a link to the resolution is stored in the metadata. The repositories are also searched to determine owners of the target entity and related entities, and these owners are then notified of the event and the resolution to the event.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sampath K. Chilukuri, Sandra K. Johnson, Darbha V. Kumar, Garadi Shashidhar Hemanth Kumar, Sharad Mishra, Joan L. Mitchell, Sanjay Mundergi, Benjamin J. Stoor, Anil Kumar Thiramdas, David Ward

Patent number: 7673071Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for generating a name for a system of devices. An identifier identifies each component in the system. Once each component is identified, information such as the World Wide Name (WWN) of each component is stored in a database. Additional information such as the IP address of each component may also be stored within the database. A comparator then compares a name such as the WWN of each component and selects the name of a selected component based on specified parameters provided by a user. The selected name is modified and then assigned as an identifier of the entire system of devices. The system of devices is thus assigned a unique identifier that remains the same each time those components form a system of devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2004Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Duane Mark Baldwin, David Lynn Merbach, Sharad Mishra

Publication number: 20090234806Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art with respect to data searching. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for displaying search results from a search on a plurality of repositories storing software development data can be provided. The method can include receiving a plurality of search results produced by a search of the plurality of repositories, wherein each search result includes metadata comprising software development process data including a timestamp. The method can further include reading the metadata from each of the plurality of search results and arranging the plurality of search results in chronological order according to the timestamp in the metadata for each search result.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sandra K.
