  • Patent number: 11868239
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide techniques for evaluating an asynchronous application using a test framework. The test framework may perform a load test of an asynchronous application or service composed from a collection of applications or services. To do so, the test framework may submit transactions to a distributed application at a specified transaction rate and monitor how the distributed application operates at that transaction rate. An aggregate load test component may evaluate the remaining work pending at work accumulation points of the distributed application to determine whether the distributed application can sustain the specified transaction rate. A transaction tracking component may initiate transactions to generate load at the specified transaction rate without blocking while the transactions are processed by the distributed application.

  • Patent number: 11829282
    Abstract: An assert statement generator employs a neural transformer model with attention to generate candidate assert statements for a unit test method that tests a focal method. The neural transformer model is pre-trained with source code programs and natural language text and fine-tuned with test-assert triplets. A test-assert triplet includes a source code snippet that includes: (1) a unit test method with an assert placeholder; (2) the focal method; and (3) a corresponding assert statement. In this manner, the neural transformer model is trained to learn the semantics and statistical properties of a natural language, the syntax of a programming language, and the relationships between the code elements of the programming language and the syntax of an assert statement.

  • Patent number: 11809881
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that modifies execution of a target process in a computer system. During loading of a marker library by a target process, the system modifies import dependency data of the marker library to include an injection library as a dependency of a marker library. After the modified import dependency data is used to load the injection library into the target process by the operating system or loader, the system executes the injection library prior to execution of the marker library to revert the import dependency data to an original state and modify execution of the target process.

  • Patent number: 11748248
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a set of expectation elements associated with one or more UX tests. An expectation element may specify, using unstructured data that does not conform to a schema, an expectation for a user experience and a respective outcome for the user experience. A themer model may generate predictions that map the respective expectation elements to a theme from a theme schema, which may include a plurality of themes. A selector model may generate selection scores for the expectation elements. The predicted themes and selection scores may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.

  • Patent number: 11704229
    Abstract: Techniques for auto-intrusive data pattern and test case generation for negative service testing are described. A test engine obtains negative test information specifying negative test input examples or schemas associated with tests that are expected to fail. A test generator generates multiple test cases based on the negative test information. A test execution orchestrator splits each test case up into actions that are inserted into queues, where workflow execution agents perform the tests by reading from the queues and interacting with services. The tests may also include adjusting a rate of transactions allowed between top-level services and/or downstream services. Results from the testing are analyzed by a test analysis engine and used to inform the services or the test originator of test cases where the expected failures did not arise.

  • Patent number: 11593185
    Abstract: A processing system comprising multiple tiles and an interconnect between the tiles. The interconnect is used to communicate between a group of some or all of the tiles according to a bulk synchronous parallel scheme, whereby each tile in the group performs an on-tile compute phase followed by an inter-tile exchange phase with the exchange phase being held back until all tiles in the group have completed the compute phase. Each tile in the group has a local exit state upon completion of the compute phase. The instruction set comprises a synchronization instruction for execution by each tile upon completion of its compute phase to signal a sync request to logic in the interconnect. In response to receiving the sync request from all the tiles in the group, the logic releases the next exchange phase and also makes available an aggregated a state of all the tiles in the group.

  • Patent number: 11526427
    Abstract: A software code testing system includes sub-engines and a test case database storing test cases. A test case sub-engine runs each of the test cases on a plurality of software code modules, and a software code coverage determination sub-engine identifies a respective software code coverage for each software code method included in each of the software code modules. A test case/software code coverage mapping sub-engine then maps the respective software code coverage for each of the software code methods included in each of the software code modules with the respective test case that was run on that software code module to provide a test case/software code coverage mapping, which is used by a test suite optimization sub-engine to generate a test suite that includes a subset of the test cases that provide a desired level of software code coverage using a minimum number of test cases.

  • Patent number: 11436134
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for integrating data are provided. A processor implements a data processing framework configured to run native on a big data platform and abstracts data processing constructs to a user friendly template, thereby eliminating necessity of user initiated tasks of instantiating language level objects. The processor also implements a core set of data pipeline configurations on the template configured to initiate a chain of user defined data transformations. A receiver operatively connected with the processor via a communication network receives input of the chain of the user defined data transformations. The processor tests each transformation independently of each other and outputs data integration solutions on the big data platform based on a positive test result.

  • Patent number: 11429365
    Abstract: The present application is directed towards systems and methods for automatic retrofitting of customized code objects during transformation of a system from a source installation to a target installation. In many instances, new objects may be created or objects modified on an online or production system while a development system is being upgraded. Simply copying the upgraded development system to the production system when complete would delete these new objects or modifications. Accordingly, the modifications or new objects may need to be retrofitted, or propagated to the development system and upgraded or transformed for compatibility with the new software, prior to placing the system online.

  • Patent number: 11422918
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a continuous software development and delivery system. Currently, the software development and delivery process is complicated and time consuming. The process requires multiple checkpoints and human intervention to ensure that software updates do not cause errors in the existing software when implemented. Coordination throughout the development process is also problematic as developers may be using varying development environment that are different than the environment used to test and produce the software. The continuous development and delivery system of the present disclosure remedies these issues by providing a consistent development environment throughout the development process. This reduces issues that may arise from use of inconsistent development environments and allows for automation of previously manual portions of the software development and delivery process.
