  • Patent number: 11681522
    Abstract: A self-healing build pipeline architecture for a software application build job across a distributed computer platform comprises a public API that receives configuration data describing the build job, stores the configuration data in a decentralized database, serves requests to/from a pipeline tracker API, and stores states of build pipelines during the build job. The decentralized database stores the configuration data and a project identifier for the build, and metadata regarding states of the build pipelines collected across the distributed computer platform. The pipeline tracker API runs local to the build environment in the distributed computer platform and sends a build status to public API for updating the decentralized database. For any failures in any of the build pipelines, the state is retrieved from the decentralize database and a new build pipeline is triggered locally that resumes from the failed state to provide a self-healing build pipeline architecture.

  • Patent number: 11645045
    Abstract: Source code of a golden version and a next version of a program is received in which procedure calls are modified to call from an entry point table (EPT) with index numbers corresponding to procedure memory addresses. An executable defect-free golden version program and next version program with a defect are received. A first entry point table (first EPT) for the new version program and a second EPT for the golden version program are generated. A series of substitutions of procedures from the second EPT to the first EPT is performed and an order of substitutions includes: a module set, a module of the module set, a procedure set of the module, and a procedure of the procedure set. The defect producing procedure is identified by substituting in order until the defect is absent and proceeding to the next substitution in order.

  • Patent number: 11614969
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a thread classification method that represents stack traces in a compact form using classification signatures. Some embodiments can receive a stack trace that includes a sequence of stack frames. Some embodiments may generate, based on the sequence of stack frames, a trace signature that represents the set. Some embodiments may receive one or more subsequent stack traces. For each of the one or more subsequent stack traces, some embodiments may determine whether a subsequent trace signature has been generated to represent the sequence of stack frames included within the subsequent stack trace. If not, some embodiments may generate, based on the trace signature and other subsequent trace signatures that were generated based on the trace signature, the subsequent trace signature to represent the subsequent sequence of stack frames.

  • Patent number: 11593104
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a platform development version control system for monitoring contributors to software platform development. The methods and systems generate data analytics on contributors to software platform development using group affiliations as listed in a group directory (e.g., a corporate directory for an entity providing the software platform) as a common organizing factor. For example, by organizing the methods and systems according to the group affiliations, the methods and systems may generate data analytics on contributions of contributors within those groups, irrespective of whether or not the group members are working on the same project. The methods and systems may then provide recommendations and graphical representations based on the data analytics.

  • Patent number: 11586706
    Abstract: Techniques for time-series analysis for forecasting computational workloads are disclosed. A resource management system monitors a computing system and obtains metrics data from the computing system. The metrics data is stored as a set of historical data points of a data set. A first portion of the set of historical data points comprise an outlier that does not correspond to a seasonality pattern associated with a second portion of the set of historical data points. The resource management system tests a first time-series model that incorporates a first exogenous variable corresponding to a first exogeneous factor to determine that the first time-series model fits both the first portion of the set of historical data points and the second portion of the set of historical data points within an error threshold. Then, the resource management system selects the first time-series model to predict future data points of the data set.

  • Patent number: 11573773
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements to model development, particularly in terms of source code commitments for these models. For example, methods and systems allow contributors to manage when and where commitments and/or the results of those commitments are stored and/or do so without the use of an additional layer of external software by correlating source code commitments and model result records during model development. Moreover, the methods and systems allow contributors to manage when and where commitments are store automatically without the use of an additional layer of external software through user of native source code commands and libraries.

  • Patent number: 11567856
    Abstract: An intelligent determination of code change review assignments and subsequent secured access to the determined assignments. Code changes undergo code change complexity determination which is based on (i) a level of importance of the module(s) in which the changes occur, (ii) the volume of metadata files impacted by the code changes, and (iii) the dependency of the code changes on external modules. A distributed trust computing network is implemented and a code change smart contract which relies on smart contract rules is used to determine and allocate code change review assignments. In this regard, data blocks within a distributed ledger define individual segments/portions of the code change file with each data block identifying a code change review assignment.

  • Patent number: 11550566
    Abstract: Software components can be automatically integrated into a control framework in a distributed computing environment. For example, a system can determine that a flag is set in relation to a complementary resource that is monitored by a controller in a distributed computing environment. In response to determining that the flag is set, the system can identify a target software component that is not managed by the controller in the distributed computing environment. The system can then integrate the target software component into a control framework of the distributed computing environment in which the target software component is managed by the controller based on the complementary resource.

  • Patent number: 11487645
    Abstract: A code base is parsed to identify methods having changes in a code base since a last code commit. Thereafter, a call graph is traversed to identify test cases implicated by the identified methods having changes in the code base. The call graph can be a directed call graph comprising a plurality of connected nodes in which a first subset of the connected nodes are method nodes representing each method in the code base in which unidirectional edges connecting method nodes correspond to invocations by a calling method to a callee method, and in which a second subset of the connected nodes are test case nodes representing each of a plurality of available test cases to test the code base. The test case nodes are each coupled to one or more method nodes by unidirectional edges that correspond to the test case coverage of the method.

  • Patent number: 11474845
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a versioned script management (VSM) system that enables a client instance to implement versioned script management. A versioned scripts table includes one or more fields storing version information for each script. The version information tracks platform release information (e.g., family, patch, and/or hotfix release version information) of each script, while also tracking client-specific versions of these scripts that have been modified after release. The VSM system includes instructions to create a modified version of an existing script and to perform a platform release update of platform scripts without overwriting or changing the behavior of client-modified versions of these scripts. As such, the VSM system enables script modifications, as part of client customization and/or platform updates, while avoiding the possibility of introducing regressions as a result of these modifications.
