Patent number: 11971808Abstract: Provided is a method for automated verification of a software program in a Behavior-Driven Development environment and a data processing system configured to execute such a method. Individual test steps of BDD test scenarios are first matched and then assigned to existing test step definitions from a BDD framework. If a one-to-one matching is not possible, natural language processing is used to decide if an assignment is possible with a certain matching probability. The assigned test step definitions are used to generate graphical test models for the test scenarios, e.g., UML diagrams. Finally, executable test scripts are generated to test the software program. The present invention relates particularly to Behavior-Driven Development and combines traditional BDD advantages with Model Based Testing for improved convenience and automatization in case of complex software packages.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Stephan Storck

Patent number: 11914503Abstract: Embodiments facilitate testing of software functions, by elaborating upon a small volume test sample originally provided by a developer. Where the original test sample is determined to be numerical, embodiments perform repetition techniques to generate corpuses of test data of varying scope representing operation over different timescales. For original test samples of greater complexity (e.g., including text and/or hierarchical output states of the software function), embodiments select a relevant Machine Learning (ML) model and apply that ML model to generate the corpuses of test data. These are then available for loading to measure one or more performance parameters (e.g., runtime, memory consumption; processing consumption; bandwidth) of the software function. Broadly reported non-linear behavior of performance parameter(s) may reveal lack of suitability of the generated data corpuses for testing. More specific non-linear behavior may indicate failure of the software function to pass certain tests.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Christian Martick

Patent number: 11907694Abstract: A method creates a table of keys and values. Each key is an element of an input array which is an input of a machine-learning pre-processing pipeline, and each value is an output of the pipeline. The method measures (1) a hit rate H to the memo table, (2) an average time Ttable to look up the table, (3) an average time Tpipeline to execute the pipeline, and (4) a threshold Telements on a number of elements of the input array. The method looks up the value in the table by using an element of the input array as a key when Tpipeline×H>Ttable and the number of elements in the input array is less than Telements. The method calls the pipeline in place of the lookup for all of the remaining elements in the input array when the value is not in the table.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Nakaike, Motohiro Kawahito

Patent number: 11714625Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a method of automatically generating applications for multiple platforms based on one source of application code. Implementations include receiving a signal from a client device to initiate an application generation process, for example, through a graphical user interface (GUI). In an implementation, the application generation process analyzes the application code to differentiate between core application code, which is shared between many platforms, and device-specific code, and then separates the core application code from the device-specific code. The core application code may then be deployed for use in a plurality of applications such as a web application, progressive web application, or, as taken together with device-specific code, as a native mobile application. Applications may be deployed with features that are automatically determined based on their deployment method and the feature set of each platform.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Christian Straub
