Abstract: A system for testing a network-based application has a continuous integration (CI) service that performs CI testing of a server application that is being developed to support a client application, such as a client application that will be used on a wireless communication device. The CI service detects server source code changes and in response rebuilds the server application and deploys it to a test server. In addition, the client application is installed and executed on one or more wireless communication devices, so that the client application communicates with the test server using a wireless communications network. Tests of the client application are performed as it executes on the devices, and results are reported to the CI service. The CI service reports any errors that occurred during testing of either the server application or the client application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for centralized client application management are provided. In an example embodiment, device data is received from a user device. The user device is identified according to an identification rule. A client state is received from the user device. A match between the client state and a specified state is determined. Based on the client state matching the specified state, an instruction to be performed on the user device is generated. The instruction is caused to be performed on the user device. The instruction causes a change to the client state stored on the user device.

Abstract: Techniques are described to automate deployment of an application as a cloud computing service. Such deployment may be accomplished on any underlying host infrastructure. As mentioned above, a typical application may engage in a number of build and deployment processes in order to run on a host computer with an infrastructure type. The techniques described herein may leverage an artificial intelligence computation library to identify which build and deployment processes are required by the application. Once identified, the user may select a host infrastructure type and create a container package with a runtime machine and components configure to run these build and deployment processes for that host infrastructure type. The container package may be used to generate an image from which the host computer can run the application as the cloud computing service. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An execution circuit is configured to input data units, perform unit operations on the data units, and register results of the unit operations in response to oscillations of a clock signal. A control circuit controls activation and deactivation of the unit operations.
