Abstract: A method and a system for automated testing of applications includes crawling an application by an application crawler to identify application states. Rewards associated with the application states are calculated using a reinforcement learning engine, based on a reward matrix. Critical paths are identified by the reinforcement learning engine and are passed to a test scenario generator. Test scripts are generated by the test scenario generator based on the identified critical paths. The applications are tested by a test scenario execution engine based on the generated one or more test scripts, and test data generated by the test data generator. Test results are captured by a behavior analyzer. One or more insights are generated by the behavior analyzer, from the captured test results to update the reward matrix and to improve the efficiency of continuous autonomous testing system.

Abstract: A code scanning system has a syntax generation component that receives source code and generates an abstract syntax tree file. The system includes a white list of permitted pure functions, and a black list of prohibited impure functions. In addition, the system includes a static code analyzer for performing static analysis of the source code. The static code analyzer includes a function analyzer that receives the AST file and identifies the functions. Each function is compared to the white list, and if it is present, marked as permitted in a static analysis file. If the function is not on the white list, it is compared to the black list. If it is present on the black list, it is marked as prohibited in the static analysis file. If the function is not on the white or black list, it is marked as “unknown” and subjected to manual analysis.
