  • Load testing
    Patent number: 11599340
    Abstract: Examples relate to load testing. The examples disclosed herein enable obtaining lines of code that are recorded as an application is executed in a client computing device, the lines of code being recorded in chronological order of the execution; determining whether a dependency on at least one variable exists in individual lines of the lines of code; in response to determining that the dependency exists, storing the dependency in a data storage; identifying, from the lines of code, a line of code including a network call statement that calls a called variable; and eliminating a first subset of the lines of code based on the called variable and dependencies stored in the data storage, wherein a second subset of the lines of code that remain after the elimination comprises user-entered parameter data.

  • Low latency polling
    Patent number: 11593397
    Abstract: A poll of a first database is initiated (e.g., a SOT database). The poll of the first database is to identify if any transactions have occurred since a previous poll of the first database. Based on the poll of the first database, information is received that identifies one or more transaction identifiers. A missing transaction identifier is identified based on a contagious list of transaction identifiers. In response to identifying the missing transaction identifier, the missing transaction identifier is stored in a list of missing transaction identifiers for use in a later poll of the first database. By tracking the missing transaction identifier, the process can identify transactions that take longer to commit without introducing lag for transactions that commit quickly.

  • Using graphical image analysis for identifying image objects
    Patent number: 11573889
    Abstract: An image of a graphical user interface is captured. For example, a screen shot of a browser display is captured. Text syntax is executed that contains one or more parameters for identifying a graphical object. For example, the text syntax may identify a rectangle that contains the text “OK” where the text is red. Based on the text syntax, a graphical object is identified in the image of the graphical user interface. Information is returned that identifies how to access the graphical object in the graphical user interface. For example, coordinates of the graphical object are identified. This information can then be used in a test script using existing programming languages to test the graphical user interface. For example, the coordinates may be used to click on the OK button.

  • INDEXES OF VERTICAL TABLE COLUMNS HAVING A SUBSET OF ROWS CORRELATING TO A PARTITION RANGE
    Publication number: 20230034257
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive parameters for a partition range for a partition key associated with a table. The table may have a vertical table structure. The processor may generate an index of vertical table columns based on the received parameters for the partition range. The generated index may be a physical store for data from the table and may have a subset of rows of the table correlating to the partition range. The processor may receive a query having a predicate associated with the partition key associated with the table and, based on a determination that the predicate included in the received query is within a partition range for the generated index, the processor may execute the query using the generated index.

  • Automatic zoom on device screen to improve artificial intelligence identification rate
    Patent number: 11561678
    Abstract: An image of a user interface of a device is captured. A graphical object is identified in the image of the user interface. For example, a menu item or a text object is identified in the image of the user interface. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) process is used to determine a confidence score for the graphical object; the confidence score identifies a confidence of how likely a type of the graphical object can be identified. In response to the first confidence score not meeting a threshold, a zoomed in image of the graphical object is taken or a zoomed-out image of the graphical object is taken. The zoomed in image or the zoomed-out image is used to increase the confidence score to better identify the type of the graphical object.

  • LOW COST DEFENSE AGAINST DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACKS
    Publication number: 20230012577
    Abstract: A first message is received from a first communication device. The first message comprises an authentication token. For example, the authentication token may be a username/password. A determination is made if the first message also comprises a valid temporary password. The temporary password is used to prevent a Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack. In response to the first message comprising the valid temporary password, a determination is made if the authentication token is valid. In response to the authentication token being valid, the first message is responded to in a normal manner. If the first message does not contain the temporary password, the first message is handled based on a DOS message handling process.
