Abstract: The present disclosure relates to software development and, more specifically, to continuous integration (CI) based software development systems, methods, and computer program products in which a system-under-test (SUT) is populated with production data that has been filtered or transformed, or both. In accordance with this approach, the filtered or transformed production test data can be automatically generated and seamlessly integrated into a continuous integration process. In some examples, the resulting filtered or transformed test data closely reflects real production data while, at the same time, consuming less data storage space and protecting an individual's sensitive information.

Abstract: A development maintenance (Dev-Maintain) computing system is upgraded from a release version n to a release version n+1, where a production (Prod) computing system is on the release version n, and a development preview (Dev-Preview) computing system is on the release version n+1. Changes are transported from the Dev-Preview computing system to the Dev-Maintain computing system. Inactive changes transported from the Dev-Preview computing system into the Dev-Maintain computing system are merged to generate merged changes. The merged changes are transported to the Dev-Preview computing system. A release version upgrade is performed to the Prod computing system and to the Dev-Preview computing system. Active changes are transported from the Dev-Maintain computing system to the Prod computing system.

Abstract: A method for amending or adding functionality to an automation device in an automation systems domain is provided. A semantic representation is provided as a basis for representing the functionality to be amended or added. The semantic model for semantically representing the functionality is not only interpretable but also executable. A machine interpretation and execution is carried out by a semantic reasoner and an event processing engine, respectively, which are both part of a runtime environment implemented on the automation device. The need of implementing a code skeleton is eliminated by an engineer. Instead, the semantic model may be directly executed in a device that has an embedded runtime with reasoning capabilities.

Abstract: Techniques for designing tests of a service catalog without having to write and/or edit the underlying scripts are disclosed. A library of tests step templates is populated and provided to a user. The tests step templates in the library may be selected by the user and edited to fill in specific parameters that specify the actions to be taken during execution of the test step. The test step may then be combined with other test steps to form a test. In some embodiments, the library may include test templates made up of frequently used sequences of individual test steps. Once a test has been designed, the test may be run, either manually triggered by a user or according to a schedule. The system may then run through the steps of the test, as specified by the user, by running the underlying scripts. As the test is run, results are generated.

Abstract: Performance anomalies in production applications can be analyzed to determine the dynamic behavior over time of hosting processes on the same or different computers. Problematic call sites (call sites that are performance bottlenecks or that are causing hangs) can be identified. Instead of relying on static code analysis and development phase load testing to identify a performance bottleneck or application hang, a lightweight sampling strategy collects predicates representing key performance data in production scenarios. Performance predicates provide information about the subject (e.g., what the performance issue is, what caused the performance issue, etc.). The data can be fed into a model based on a decision tree to identify critical threads running the problematic call sites. The results along with the key performance data can be used to build a call graph prefix binary tree for analyzing call stack patterns. Data collection, analysis and visualizations of result can be performed.

Abstract: An equivalence verification unit (130) judges through equivalence verification, for each of corresponding combinations which are each a combination of a function included in pre-change source code and a function included in post-change source code, whether the functions included in the corresponding combination are equivalent to each other. A partial verification judgment unit (150) judges, for each of inequivalent ones of the corresponding combinations, whether the corresponding combination is a partial verification combination including a function where an inequivalent path, in which an inequivalent function is called, and a non-inequivalent path, in which a non-inequivalent function is called, are both included. A partial verification unit (160) judges, for each of the partial verification combinations, whether the functions included in the partial verification combination are partially equivalent to each other by excluding the inequivalent path and performing the equivalence verification.

Abstract: A control system for an industrial automation facility and a method for programming and operating the control system use a program for the control system which is developed with a development tool. Data from a web server built into the control system is transmitted to a computer which is connected to the control system via a network. The data includes a web-based development environment. A representation of the development environment in a web browser is embodied on the computer. A program for the control system is developed or processed by a user. The program developed and/or processed by the user is converted into a high-level language program by a conversion module embodied in the web browser. The high-level language program is transmitted to the control system and converted into a binary program inside the control system. The binary program is implemented by the control system.
