    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and software for implementing dual Bayesian encoding-decoding for text-to-code transformations. In one aspect, a multi-model probabilistic source code model employing dual Bayesian encoder-decoder models is used to convert natural language (NL) inputs (aka requests) into source code. An NL input is processed to generate a Probabilistic Distribution (PD) of Source code (SC) tokens in an SC token sequence and a PD of Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) tokens in an AST token sequence, wherein each SC token is associated with a respective AST token, and each of the SC and AST tokens have a respective PD. One or more fixing rules are applied to one or more tokens SC tokens that are identified as needing fixing, wherein the fixing rule are selected in consideration of the PDs of the SC tokens and the PDs of their associated AST tokens.

  • Patent number: 11934300
    Abstract: Test scenarios can be generated for decision models on a computer according to some examples. In one example, a system can determine groupings of user input tests for a decision model based on outputs produced by inputting the user input tests into the decision model. Each grouping can include a portion of the user input tests. For each grouping, the system can determine an impact score for each input for each user input test. The system can determine sub-groupings within each grouping based on the impact scores for the inputs. The system can then identify a particular user input test within each sub-grouping. The system can then generate a test scenario file for the decision model based on the particular user input test for use in testing the decision model.

  • Patent number: 11921622
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically generating a fault-enabled software development kit (SDK) to test an application. The generating includes determining one or more faults based on codes associated with the SDK and a frequency of occurrences of faults while executing the SDK. A fault injector automatically injects the determined faults in select layers of code in the SDK and generates fault configuration data associated with the automatically injected faults in the SDK. The fault configuration data describes faults that have been injected in the fault-enabled SDK to test an application. The fault-enabled SDK tests the application without needs for modifying the application code for testing purposes. The fault-enabled SDK further provides types of faults that may be common in using the SDK without requiring application developers to have detailed understanding of internals of the SDK to test the application with simulated faults.

  • Patent number: 11914501
    Abstract: An instrumentation analysis system processes data streams by executing instructions specified using a data stream language program. A user interface allows users to specify data stream language programs. The user interface presents widgets to the user to specify various components of a data stream language program, including a filter expression, an analytical function representing an aggregation or transformation, and so on. The user interface allows users to specify an expression based on results of previously specified data stream language programs. The instrumentation analysis system processes the data stream language programs specified by the user to generate a set of result data streams and plots the result data streams, for example, on a screen of a client device.

  • Patent number: 11868232
    Abstract: The execution-time reporting of telemetry of execution of a software program. Subscribers submit subscriptions to telemetry of the software program. As each subscription is received, the telemetry scope of the subscription is evaluated to determine what portion of an object model is to be augmented. The augmented portion will include portion(s) related to the scope of telemetry subscribed to in the subscription. Thereafter, that portion of the object model is indeed augmented as execution of the computer program proceeds further. Subsequently, telemetry reports are generated for a subscription based on the interpretation of a defined subscription-specific portion of the object model.

  • Patent number: 11860772
    Abstract: Test cases written to test a software application can be dynamically distributed among different sets of test cases that can be executed simultaneously in different parallel threads, thereby speeding up testing relative to executing the test cases sequentially in a single thread. To avoid database conflicts that may occur when different test cases in different parallel threads attempt to access the same database simultaneously, testing of the software application can be performed in association with a record-locking database that locks database records individually instead of locking entire database tables or locking data structures that are larger than individual records. Locking individual database records can reduce and/or eliminate the chances that a test case in one parallel thread will be unable to access a record in the database because another test case in another parallel thread is simultaneously accessing the same database.

  • Patent number: 11861356
    Abstract: A feature deployment service of a provider network may deploy feature processing units (FPUs) to implement data processing features at both a provider network and edge devices. The use of FPUs may allow a client to use new features at the edge, without delays due to compliance/testing or software upgrades. An FPU includes a model and compute logic that are used to implement a data processing feature. A feature processing service deploys the FPU to an FPU engine at the provider network and also deploys the FPU to edge devices of the client's network that each include an edge FPU engine. The FPU engine at the provider network and the edge FPU engine at each edge device conform to a common specification/API, allowing deployment and use of the same FPU/data processing features at both the cloud and the edge.

  • Patent number: 11853743
    Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) device is deployed with embedded software that may comprise multiple components. After deployment, updated versions of one or more components of the embedded software may become available. The IoT device maintains a manifest of the installed components. Periodically, the IoT device requests an updated copy of the manifest from an upgrade server. The installed manifest and the updated manifest are compared to determine if updated versions of any components are available. If so, the IoT device requests only the components to be updated. Prior to beginning the copying of the upgraded components, an upgrade flag is set. The IoT device then begins copying the received components into memory, replaces the manifest with the updated manifest, and clears the upgrade flag.
