Abstract: A concurrency testcase generation includes providing a concurrency testcase template for features built into a concurrency testcase generation infrastructure that requires no compilation. Through the concurrency testcase template, testers may input directives for managing activities of concurrent threads, directives for configuring timing tests by the concurrent threads, directives for configuring responses to errors by the concurrent threads, and directives for configuring logging of data for the concurrent threads. The directives for managing activities of the concurrent threads may include directives for managing creation of the concurrent threads, directives for customizing actions of each concurrent thread, directives for managing a sequence of the concurrent threads, directives for exchanging of information between the concurrent threads, and directives for configuring throughput for the concurrent threads. The inputted directives collectively define the concurrency testcase.

Abstract: A technique for optimizing a program by reusing an execution result of a subclass test function. It includes a reusability determining unit to determine reusability of code of a subclass test function based on whether access to a global memory includes only access for reading out type information specified in a function call, a profiling unit configured to store an execution result of code determined to be reusable and specified information in a storage device in association with actually accessed type information, a reuse processing unit configured to reuse, in response to detection of a function call for calling the code determined to be reusable, the execution result on condition that the pieces of specified information specified in the function calls match, and a monitoring unit configured to monitor the type information associated with the execution result and prohibit reuse of the execution result if the type information is changed.

Abstract: Modeling a governance process of optimizing a portfolio of services in a governed SOA and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module including a module of computer program instructions that supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process, where the modeled governance process includes determining whether a collection of service artifacts matches one or more service artifacts stored in a service registry; if no service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts, initiating creation of a service in accordance with the collection of service artifacts; if one or more service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts: selecting, in dependence upon predefined action selection criteria, a service administration action to perform; obtaining approval of the selected service administration action; and initiating the selected service admini

Abstract: Compiled computer code comprising computer code instructions organized in a plurality of basic blocks is obfuscated by replacing a jump instruction in a first basic block with a function call with at least one parameter, wherein the function call when executed determines the address of the next function to execute in dependence on the parameter; inserting into the compiled computer code an instruction that allocates a value to the parameter, the value being such that the address determined by the function call corresponds to the address of the replace jump instruction. The allocation function is inserted into the computer code in a second basic block, different from the first basic block, preferably using information from a control flow graph. This can ensure that the obfuscated code cannot be disassembled without information from the CFG, while the CFG cannot be generated from the obfuscated code. Also provided is a device for code obfuscation.

Abstract: Modeling a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed Service Oriented Architecture (‘SOA’) and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module comprising a module of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process, where the modeled governance process includes collecting available service artifacts associated with a deployed service; determining whether the deployed service meets predefined functional requirements; if the deployed service meets the predefined functional requirements, determining whether the deployed service meets predefined non-functional requirements if the deployed service meets the predefined non-functional requirements, creating a subscription request; requesting approval of the subscription request; and if approval is received, creating a subscription to the deployed service

Abstract: A method, to be performed in a computer, is provided. The method includes, for each of a plurality of devices, (a) detecting a hardware revision of that device, (b) selecting a version of a plugin associated with that hardware revision, and (c) loading the selected version of the plugin. At least one device of the plurality of devices has a different hardware revision than at least one other device of the plurality of devices. The version of the plugin associated with the one device is different than the version of the plugin associated with the other device. Corresponding computer program products and devices are also provided.

Abstract: A debugger session is initiated to monitor application execution. A debugger canvas corresponding to the debugger session is identified and displayed. The displayed debugger canvas includes one or more code bubbles created during a prior debugger session. The one or more code bubbles already present on the displayed debugger canvas are reused during the current debugger session. Accordingly, existing code bubbles and bubble sets are reused on a debugger canvas when entering a debug session, thus providing a more stable and manageable view for debugging an application in an integrated development environment. The code fragments in code bubbles on a debugger canvas can be analyzed, inspected, and edited during or after a debug session. Notations can also be added to a debugger canvas in the form of note bubbles and context data bubbles.

Abstract: A method can include receiving an indicator that an enterprise process has been selected from a plurality of enterprise processes, and receiving an enterprise process value defining at least a portion of a mandatory process step associated with a mandatory portion of the enterprise process, and an enterprise process parameter value defining at least a portion of an optional process step related to the mandatory process step. The method can include receiving an indicator that a filter from a set of filters has been selected, and defining a representation of the mandatory process step and a representation of the optional process step in response to the filter being selected. The method can also include receiving an indicator that the optional process step has been selected for binding to the mandatory portion of the enterprise process in a variant of the enterprise process.

Abstract: Computer code for a mock object is automatically generated and used in testing computer program code. Interactions with a method of an object that is described by the computer program code are captured. From the captured interactions, mock code that creates a mock object is automatically generated. The mock object mimics the captured interactions. Subsequently, test code, which has at least some of the computer program code and mock code, is executed to enable testing of the computer program code.

Abstract: Modeling a governance process of creating a new version of a service in a governed SOA and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, automation modules that include modules of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, support performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process and where the modeled governance process includes reviewing requested updates to a deployed service; determining, in dependence upon the requested updates and a specification of a present version of the deployed service, whether a new version of the deployed service is required; if a new version of the deployed service is required, determining whether the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version; and if the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version, retiring the present version of the deployed service.
