Abstract: An example method of testing Augmented Reality (AR) applications is described. In an example implementation, the method includes initiating an AR application that is targeted for testing. The example method further includes controlling a physical model to simulate movement of a simulated device in a simulated real-world space. The simulated movement of the physical model generates data for testing the AR application. In some implementations, the method may further include initiating the AR application to run on a device simulator and using a virtual environment.

Abstract: A method of increasing a speed of operation of a computer via a metadata-based business rule interpreter. The method includes receiving, at a processor, user input defining a business rule. The method also includes translating, by the processor, the user input into a domain-specific language entirely consisting of metadata objects, wherein a translated syntax is formed, the translated syntax being an abstract syntax tree structure consisting of only the metadata objects. The method also includes executing, by the processor, an abstract syntax tree interpreter and taking as input into the abstract syntax tree interpreter the translated syntax. A compiler operation to generate computer code for implementing the business rule is avoided. Executing the abstract syntax tree interpreter produces a result in a browser without using executable code to achieve the result.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may determine that an external device is coupled to an input/output (I/O) port of an information handling system and may provide a first message to an information handling system firmware (IHSFW) that indicates information associated with the external device. The IHSFW may provide a second message to a management information exchange, and the management information exchange may start an application in response to the second message. The application may determine firmware of the external device can be updated, may receive user input that indicates updating the firmware of the external device, may retrieve new firmware associated with the external device, and may provide the new firmware to the external device. In one or more embodiments, the new firmware associated with the external device may be retrieved before the external device is coupled to the information handling system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing a virtualization layer for mobile applications are presented. A computing device may parse code of an application to identify a first set of one or more classes in the application. The computing device may transmit code usable by the first set of one or more classes to a module accessible to the application and create a second set of one or more classes in the application to replace the first set of one or more classes, wherein the second set of one or more classes does not inherit from the first set of one or more classes in an object hierarchy. In some embodiments, the second set of one or more classes provides at least one different function from the first set of one or more classes. The computing device may execute the application comprising the second set of one or more classes.

Abstract: A real-time debugger implementation maintains and manages multiple debug contexts allowing developers to interact with real-time applications without “breaking” the system in which the debug application is executing. The debugger allows multiple debug contexts to exist and allows break points in real-time and non-real-time code portions of one or more applications executing on a debug enabled core of a processor. A debug monitor function may be implemented as a hardware logic module on the same integrated circuit as the processor. Higher priority interrupt service requests may be serviced while otherwise maintaining a context for the debug session (e.g., stopped at a developer defined breakpoint). Accordingly, the application developer executing the debugger may not have to be concerned with processing occurring on the processor that may be unrelated to the current debug session.

Abstract: A volume driver is provided in each server that executes a container engine. A first volume driver embeds, in a container image of a container in a first server, a volume ID (which is the ID of a volume, and is according to information acquired from a storage system with respect to the volume) of the volume associated with the container. A second volume driver searches, in the storage system, for a volume to be associated with the container based on the container image, by using the volume ID embedded in the container image outputted from the first server and inputted to the second server.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing access to a hybrid web application offline. In some implementations, a computing device can be configured with a hybrid application that includes a native layer and a web view. The native layer can provide access to native features of the computing device while the web view can provide web client features, such as graphical user interfaces and server communication functionality. When the computing device is offline and the hybrid application is invoked, the native layer can load from local storage a resource bundle including the web code needed to present the web view graphical user interface, and/or facilitate communication with the web server. Similarly, when the computing device is offline, the hybrid application can load previously stored content items into the web view from local storage through the native layer so that the user can work with the content items offline.

Abstract: The technology employs a micro-scheduler arrangement to detect and correct issues relating to software code testing. The micro-scheduler uses test results from unsubmitted branches to predict test breakages, test fixes, and to identify which changes have broken certain tests. This arrangement is high beneficial in large-scale software systems that have millions or billions of lines of code, and can be used to supplement an existing test automation platform. In response to receipt of a new presubmit or postsubmit test result, the system evaluates the recent test history in relation to milestone tests in order to determine whether or not to schedule a particular test for one or more change list identifiers. Different test conditions, such as currently failing and currently broken, in conjunction with stored presubmit information, help the system determine the range of changes that could be the culprit for a test breakage.
