Abstract: A method provides an intervention point for manipulating a variable of a runtime environment for testing a control-device program component to be tested in a test environment. Software of the control-device program component, in accordance with the AUTOSAR standard, is divided into three layers, wherein the three layers include a layer of program components, a layer of the runtime environment, and a layer of device-related basic programs. The layer of the program components has a test scenario program component for providing input values and a program component for receiving output values and displaying the test result. The method includes: providing the control-device program component to be tested with interfaces that are each defined in accordance with the AUTOSAR standard; and creating an executable program of the control-device program component to be tested and of the test scenario program component.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe an experimentation platform that identifies one or more proxy metrics for testing a configuration and/or new design of a product. The experimentation platform may receive an input identifying one or more configurations, components, and/or products to test and/or optimize. The experimentation platform may identify one or more performance metrics used to test and/or optimize the one or more configurations, components, and/or products. Based on the one or more identified performance metrics, the experimentation platform may identify one or more proxy metrics to represent the one or more performance metrics. The one or more identified proxy metrics may be one or more engagement metrics or a combination of engagement metrics. The experimentation platform may then use the one or more proxy metrics to analyze the one or more configurations, components, and/or products and recommend a configuration, component, and/or product for deployment.

Abstract: A firmware updating system and method are provided. The firmware updating method includes configuring a host to digitally sign a firmware to be updated, and configuring an electronic device to perform an authorization verification on an update tool, and only the update tool that passes the verification has an update permission. The update tool uses an encryption algorithm to encrypt the firmware to be updated that includes a digital signature. After the encryption is completed, the host sends the update tool to the electronic device through the update tool. The electronic device then uses a decryption algorithm to decrypt the received firmware to obtain the firmware to be updated including the digital signature, and write the firmware to be updated into a firmware storage area to be updated. The electronic device then verifies the digital signature in the firmware to be updated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for bug fix recovery in an electronic device connected to a network. If a bug affecting a deployed electronic device is discovered, bug fix instructions for fixing, mitigating, or recovering from the bug, including rules and executable actions, can be stored in a cloud based server in communication with a deployed electronic device. Each set of instructions is associated with one or more identifiers of devices, firmware versions, and/or software versions that are affected by the bug. The server can be configured to query deployed electronic devices, and/or the deployed electronic devices can be configured to query the server to determine if a bug fix that is relevant to the electronic device has been stored on the server. Instructions can then be transmitted to the electronic device for execution or for display or announcement to a user (if user action is required).

Abstract: A method for loop escape analysis includes receiving a set of executable computer instructions stored on a storage medium, and determining a number of inputs to a loop associated with a data structure, storage space that would be saved by compressing the data structure, and a size of new elements required to compress the data structure. Upon reaching an end of the loop, the method determines whether to compress the data structure based on a comparison between the size of the new elements and the saved storage space. In response to determining to compress the data structure, the method compresses the data structure.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for testing a software application. User interactions with the functional and non-functional aspects of software applications are monitored. User experience profiles are then generated for the monitored users based on the monitored interactions. The best user experiences in connection with interacting with specific functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are then identified based on the generated user experience profiles. Virtual users having different types of best user experiences in connection with interacting with different functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are created. The software application is then tested using the virtual users to determine if the functional and non-functional aspects of the software application satisfy the best user experiences associated with the virtual users.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for determining whether or not the legitimacy of an algorithm generated by LCPS during operation is established by generating the super-language context of LCPS from the LCPS to be verified by the generalized method of the present invention without using any verification data, and analyzing it by the generalized method of the present invention. With this method, all bug events that LCPS develops during operation are revealed as bug syntaxes in the generalized method of the present invention. If there is no bug syntax in LCPS, the algorithm generated by LCPS when operating is legitimate. The above-described method may be performed manually or by a computer according to a dedicated program.

Abstract: When significant latency exists between a test device executing an application and a remote device used to debug the application, an intermediate device is used to receive requests from the remote device. When a first request is received, the intermediate device determines other requests that are related to the first request, sequentially sends the other requests to the test device, and receives a response after each request, using a wired connection or a wireless network having lower latency than wireless communication between the remote device and the test device. The intermediate device then sends each of the responses to the remote device. The remote device stores the responses. The remote device is then able to use the stored data to determine responses for subsequent requests.

Abstract: Provided is a method for facilitating for facilitating monitoring of development of software products. The actions/activities executed during the stages of a product development for a software product are tracked. Further, each activity log associated with a corresponding activity is tagged to indicate an association of a corresponding activity log with one of the stages. The activities are further classified into one of a value-added activity or a non-value added activity, based on each activity log. The development of the software product is thus monitored by way of a value stream map that is generated based on the classification of each activity. The value stream map is indicative of an efficiency score for each of the stages.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums that use parallel hardware execution with software co-simulation to enable more advanced debugging operations on data flow architectures. Upon a halt to execution of a program thread, a state of the tiles that are executing the thread are saved and offloaded from the HTF to a host system. A developer may then examine this state on the host system to debug their program. Additionally, the state may be loaded into a software simulator that simulates the HTF hardware. This simulator allows for the developer to step through the code and to examine values to find bugs.

Abstract: The discussion relates to automatically providing information about what code sequences contribute to a length of time a program takes to execute. One example can collect context switch and ready thread event tracing data from a program over a period of interest and identify time blocks of program threads from the period of interest. The example can distinguish individual time blocks that contribute to execution time for the period of interest from other individual time blocks that do not contribute to the execution time.
