Abstract: In product testing, a script prioritization tool (102) is used to intelligently prioritize the execution sequence of test scripts. This tool creates a repository of test outputs from the executions of test scripts and analyzes the outputs to train and deploy a machine learning, ML, model that defines the priority of the scripts that may need to be executed and the scripts whose execution may be skipped without affecting the quality of testing. Scripts that are more likely to fail and/or are time consuming to execute are prioritized, while other scripts may be skipped. The ML model ranks the scripts based on the average execution time of the script, a count of the execution failures of the script, a count of the number of execution retries for the script, and the most recent failure time of the script. The scripts can be executed based on their rankings for efficiency and time-saving.

Abstract: In the case of FC-NVMe (NVMe over Fabrics using FC as a transport), zoning is typically performed using the interface WWPNs, but the masking of NVMe namespaces is performed using a host's NVMe Qualified Name (NQN or HOSTNQN). The use of two identifiers (i.e., one identifier used for zoning and another identifier used for masking) introduces a potential security related concern. A bad actor may obtain the NQN of a host that has access to sensitive information and use it to access this sensitive information. Accordingly, in one or more embodiments, by correlating different identifiers and using a combination of the different identifiers, access can easily be provided to the appropriate host adapters while prohibiting access to rogue hosts.

Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing machine-readable instructions which when executed cause a processor to obtain stored bits stored on a flash memory, each of the stored bits in a set state or an unset state. The processor further obtains target bits, each of the target bits in the set state or the unset state, wherein each target bit corresponds to a stored bit to update the stored bit. The processor further determines whether, for one stored bit in the set state, the corresponding target bit is in the unset state. When the determination is positive, the processor sets the stored bits to the unset state and, after setting the stored bits to the unset state, updates the stored bits to match the corresponding target bits. When the determination is negative, the processor updates the stored bits to match the corresponding target bits.
