Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating dynamic test scripts enables the design and use of testing scripts that are independent of an application and the user interface layout of the application. The method and apparatus store a set of test data, checks and an action list independent from a test script. The test script matches the properties of the test data, checks and action list items with the properties of user interface elements in an application at run-time. The run-time matching allows for the script to be utilized for different applications as well as altered or updated versions of those applications with minimal or no changes to the testing script. This method and system are particularly relevant for the testing of applications using the user interface rather than backend utilities (APIs, services etc.).

Abstract: A Design-Under-Test (DUT) may be designed to perform speculative execution of a branch path prior to determination whether the branch path is to be performed. Verification of the operation of DUT in respect to the speculative execution is disclosed. A template may be used to generate a plurality of tests. In addition to standard randomness of the tests to various parameters in accordance with the template, the tests may also differ in their respective speculative execution paths. The tests are partitioned by a generator into portions to be placed in speculative paths and portions to be placed in non-speculative paths. The generator may provide for a variance in portions. The generator may provide for nested speculative paths.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and data structure provide the ability to debug a map-reduce application on a cluster. A cluster of two or more computers is defined by installing a map-reduce framework (that includes an integrated development environment [IDE]) onto each computer. The cluster is formatted by identifying and establishing communication between each computer so that the cluster functions as a unit. Data is placed into the cluster. A function to be executed by the framework on the cluster is obtained, debugged, and executed directly on the cluster using the IDE and the data in the cluster.

Abstract: Generation of documentation from a computer readable symbolic representation is described. In an embodiment, a reified version of an input is obtained as coded objects. The input is readable by a programmed computer for execution, and is in an applied form of a symbolic representation of knowledge for a defined domain of knowledge. The reified version is a coded form of the applied form, wherein the coded objects are in a dynamic language. A content sequence library is accessed by the programmed computer responsive to the coded objects to extract content for a document plan. A reasoning library is then accessed by the programmed computer responsive to the content extracted to provide a sequenced organization of phrase structure for the content extracted. A natural language representation of the input is output from a realization of the sequenced organization of phrase structure.

Abstract: One embodiment of a method for eliminating redundant operations establishing common properties includes identifying a first virtual register storing a first value having a common property. The method may assign the first virtual register to use a real register. The method may further identify a second virtual register storing a second value also having the common property. The method may assign the second virtual register to use the same real register after the first value is no longer live. As a result of assigning the second virtual register to the first real register, the method may eliminate an operation configured to establish the common property for the second virtual register since this operation is redundant and is no longer needed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a predicate condition that compares a predicate variable to a compared value is determined. The predicate condition is in a predicate block that exists on a path to a current block that accesses a current variable. A decision is made whether the current variable and the predicate variable are defined by a sub-clique and whether a member of the sub-clique sets the predicate variable to a predicate value that causes control flow to take the path from the predicate block to the current block. Upon a determination that the current variable and the predicate variable are defined by the sub-clique and the member of the sub-clique sets the predicate variable to the predicate value that causes control flow to take the path from the predicate block to the current block, then contents for the current variable are calculated and first object code is generated, which loads the contents.
