  • Patent number: 11635947
    Abstract: A process includes receiving a table data set that represents mappings between a plurality of operand patterns indicating types of operands possibly included in a first instruction used in a first assembly language and a plurality of second instructions used in a second assembly language or a machine language corresponding to the second assembly language. The table data set maps two or more of the second instructions to each of the operand patterns. The process also includes generating, based on the table data set, a translation program used to translate first code written in the first assembly language into second code written in the second assembly language or the machine language. The translation program defines a process of determining an operand pattern of an instruction included in the first code and outputting two or more instructions of the second code according to the determined operand pattern.

  • Patent number: 11567739
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor, where the processor is in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to receive a request to build an application, where the application is associated with source code. The source code is analyzed to detect whether a first interface is implemented within the application. The source code is parsed to determine an invocation of the first interface. Inputs and outputs (I/Os) from the first interface are determined based on the invocation of the first interface. A model is generated based on the I/Os associated with the first interface, where the model includes a structure of each of the I/Os. The model is published to a registry.

  • Patent number: 11567857
    Abstract: A service testing system is disclosed to enable consistent replay of stateful requests on a service whose output depends on the service's execution state prior to the requests. In embodiments, the service implements a compute engine that executes service requests and a storage subsystem that maintains execution states during the execution of stateful requests. When a stateful request is received during testing, the storage subsystem creates an in-memory test copy of the execution state to support execution of the request, and provides the test copy to the compute engine. In embodiments, the storage subsystem will create a separate instance of execution state for each individual test run. The disclosed techniques enable mock execution states to be easily created for testing of stateful requests, in a manner that is transparent to the compute engine and does not impact production execution data maintained by the service.

  • Patent number: 11544179
    Abstract: A system including an impact analysis engine (IAE) and a method for analyzing impact of changes to a software code are provided. The IAE iteratively processes and compares lines of the software code changed across different versions of the software code for deriving the impact of changes performed for a requested version. The IAE automatically identifies artifacts impacted by changes to each line of the software code across different versions by processing code change data. The code change data includes change data between start and end tags of the software code and commit actions previous to the start tag. The code change data includes unique identifiers of artifacts traced to the commit actions, which allow customized retrieval of artifact data including features, defects, and epics impacted by changes to each line of the software code. The IAE automatically identifies linked elements, for example, tests, traced to the identified artifacts.

The device may generate an executable policy document including machine-readable text based on one or more code sections in the source code that implement one or more function calls associated with one or more function call types. The device may invoke a validation utility to cross-check the executable policy document against a design document associated with the API. The device may deploy the executable policy document in a common runtime environment that includes a shared runtime infrastructure to support multiple executable policy documents based on the validation utility indicating that the executable policy document satisfies functional requirements described in the design document associated with the API.

  • Patent number: 11537390
    Abstract: A Smart Products Lifecycle Management (sPLM) system that is built upon the smart component data model and the NPD3 process model, is enabling engineers, data scientists, and other stakeholders to collaborate on a common platform to develop smart products. The sPLM system is validated by applying it to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) development and operations, referred to as UsPLM. The UsPLM has shared lifecycle management functions that are provided as web services and can be applied to all digital models of UAS devices, software, autonomy functions, and missions. The individual models can be versioned, tracked, and be composed with other compatible models, if needed. The rule and scoring engines embedded in the UsPLM allow building and executing configuration rules, regulation rules, and various machine-learning models. This facilitates modular UAS architecture design so that the UAS has the flexibility to be reconfigured for various mission applications.

  • Patent number: 11526429
    Abstract: Technologies are described for identifying critical methods in a software code base. The critical methods are identified using a call graph that is generated from the software code base. The call graph comprises method nodes that correspond to the methods of the software code base. One or more algorithms are applied to the call graph to calculate values for the method nodes of the call graph. The one or more algorithms comprise a betweenness centrality algorithm, a harmonic closeness centrality algorithm, or a NodeRank centrality algorithm. From the values generated by the algorithms, criticality scores are determined for the method nodes. The criticality scores are then used to determine which of the method nodes are critical method nodes. Indications of the critical method nodes can be output.
