Abstract: A method and system for rapidly generating software applications is provided. An application model of a software application is generated which comprises modeled components and technology stack information. The modeled components correspond to functional and design aspects of the software application. The application model is generated by dragging and dropping multiple components into corresponding modeling perspectives defined in a visual modeling environment. Descriptors are generated for the application model which are logical representations describing each of the modeled components. Further, the descriptors are generated from application model object of the application model. Furthermore, technology templates are identified based on the technology stack information in the application model. The technology templates are predetermined templates comprising scripting languages for automatically transforming the application model into one or more technologies.

Abstract: Updating software on first and second network controller entities (NCEs), without disrupting traffic processing, comprises resetting the second NCE after it receives a proposed software version from the first NCE. The second NCE runs the proposed software version in a standby role. While the second NCE runs the proposed software version in the standby role, databases of the NCEs stay synchronized. Resetting the first NCE induces the second NCE to assume the master role, and the first NCE to assume the standby role. The second NCE in the master role tests the proposed software version for a predetermined period. If validation succeeds, the second NCE instructs the first NCE to reboot and run the proposed software version in the standby role. Otherwise, the second NCE reverts to running the current software version in the standby role; and the first NCE, running the current software version, reverts to the master role.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving an indication of a component definition to instantiate. The component definition may be a portion of a component definition data structure. Such implementations may also involve instantiating the provided component, instantiating all remaining attributes of the component definition data structure to produce a component instance data structure and transmitting an intermediate representation of the indicated component to a client device. The intermediate representation may comprise a version of the component instance data structure. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the component in memory.

Abstract: Indication of uncoverage information allows tests to be tailored to target those uncovered code units with the most potential to increase coverage of a program. A tool examines coverage information of a program to identify code units of the program that were not covered by test data used to exercise the program. The tool also examines structural information (e.g., control flow) for the program to identify those of the uncovered code units that have direct control flow from a corresponding covered code unit (“root level uncovered code units”). The coverage tool then measures potential impact on coverage for each of the root level uncovered code units.

Abstract: A method includes continuously capturing, through an application executing on a data processing device, images of a desktop of the data processing device as a background process as part of a testing session on the data processing device in an active mode thereof. The method also includes encoding, through a processor of the data processing device, the captured images of the desktop as a video sequence, and providing a capability to a user of the data processing device and/or another data processing device to detect a fault event related to the testing session based on access to the encoded video sequence.

Abstract: A method includes, by computing devices, analyzing numeric and string constraints associated with a software module that includes numeric and string variables and operations applying to specific variables for numeric or string results. The numeric constraints apply to specific numeric variables. The string constraints apply to specific string variables.

Abstract: The present invention provides technologies for forming an editing interface for editing arbitrary objects. In particular, the present invention provides system and methods for enumerating object properties, selecting a suitable pre-existing object editor and, if no such pre-existing editor is available, constructing an object editor on the fly suitable for editing the properties of the object where the object may include properties and/or collections of objects. Construction of a suitable editor is based on enumeration of object properties and on the serialization of the object using a descriptive language such as extensible markup language (“XML”) or the like. Property values specified by a user via the object interface and editors are stored in a descriptive format such as XML and generally specify the initial characteristics of the object.
