  • Patent number: 9864674
    Abstract: A method and system generate test cases for applications that include User Graphical Interfaces (GUIs). The system may extract GUI information from prototype requirements (e.g., interactive wireframes), generate a screen model for each screen of the GUI by using a subset of extracted GUI information, generate an application model representing the prototype requirements by combining the screen model for each screen, and generate test cases by using the sequence of the GUICs and the event types included in the test path and a semantic knowledge base. The semantic knowledge base is generated by using the relationships between GUICs and the GUIC events.

  • Patent number: 9853913
    Abstract: Provisioning resources into the cloud is a constantly increasing technical challenge as more cloud service providers emerge, each offering disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features. A multi-cloud network proxy controls and normalizes the tagging data applicable across the multiple cloud service providers. The network proxy provides a central control mechanism for discovering, monitoring, and updating complex tagging data applied to the technical components provisioned with the cloud service providers. The network proxy also dynamically generates technical component request interfaces that include specifically prioritized metadata tags.

  • Patent number: 9853868
    Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider.

    Abstract: Multi-data analysis based proactive defect detection and resolution may include analyzing operational data for an application to determine whether a functionality related to the application is below a predetermined threshold associated with the functionality related to the application, and based on the analysis, generating an indication to perform defect analysis related to the functionality related to the application. A sentiment analysis may be performed on consumer data related to the application to determine a sentiment of the consumer data related to the application, and a natural language processing (NLP) analysis may be performed on the consumer data related to the application to determine a function associated with a negative sentiment. Application code and process data related to the application may be analyzed to determine a defect associated with the application. Further, a code of the application may be modified to correct the defect associated with the application.

  • Patent number: 9842463
    Abstract: A disadvantage of existing betting operations is the implementation of fixed odds and pari-mutuel betting on specific and dedicated systems. This results in higher acquisition and maintenance costs as compared with a single system. According to the present invention, a single system allows both fixed odds and pari-mutuel betting to be offered on a single system wherein the system effects a computer-implemented method of wagering, including: receiving, via a communications network, a wager from a customer in respect of a wagered event and a wagered product; storing the wager, in an electronic data store, and associating the wager with the wagered event, the wagered product and a customer account, wherein the computer system manages the electronic data store, having stored therein, a plurality of events, a plurality of products and a plurality of customers, all of which are independently defined.

    Abstract: According to an example, a face capture and matching system may include a memory storing machine readable instructions to receive captured images of an area monitored by an image capture device, and detect one or more faces in the captured images. The memory may further store machine readable instructions to track movement of the one or more detected faces in the area monitored by the image capture device, and based on the one or more tracked detected faces, select one or more images from the captured images to be used for identifying the one or more tracked detected faces. The memory may further store machine readable instructions to select one or more fusion techniques to identify the one or more tracked detected faces using the one or more selected images. The face capture and matching system may further include a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.

  • Patent number: 9836303
    Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter are directed to methods and a system that allows an application comprising a single code set under the COBOL Programming Language to execute in multiple platforms on the same multi-platform system (such as a mainframe). In one embodiment, a single code set is pre-compiled to determine specific portions of the code set compatible with the host (or prospective) platform. Once the code set has been pre-compiled to determine compatible portions, those portions may be compiled and executed in the host platform. According to these embodiments, an application may be executed from a single code set that is compatible with multiple platforms, thereby potentially reducing the complexity of developing the application for multiple platforms.

  • Patent number: 9830194
    Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter are directed to methods and a system that allows the optimization of processes operating on a multi-platform system (such as a mainframe) by migrating certain processes operating on one platform to another platform in the system. In one embodiment, optimization is performed by evaluating the processes executing in a partition operating under a proprietary operating system, determining a collection of processes from the processes to be migrated, calculating a cost of migration for migrating the collection of processes, prioritizing the collection of processes in an order of migration and incrementally migrating the processes according to the order of migration to another partition in the mainframe executing a lower cost (e.g., open-source) operating system.
