Abstract: A technique for generating testcases includes receiving a new product specification for an application. A noun-verb pairing is performed on the new product specification. An attempt is made to locate a similar noun-verb pairing in a previous product specification for the application that corresponds to the new noun-verb pairing. In response to locating the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification, a new testcase is generated by modifying an existing testcase that is associated with the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification. In response to not locating the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification, the fact that the new testcase was not generated is indicated.

Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of computer-implemented tools, systems, and methods for managing debugging of different portions of an application (e.g., front-end and back-end) with different respective debuggers in a manner that facilitates debugging the entire application from within the user interface associated with one of the debuggers (e.g., from within a browser interface). In some embodiments, a debug manager acts as a bridge between a web-browser debugger and a back-end debugger, allowing an application developer to debug web applications without leaving the browser.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects include a debugger evaluating an expression. The expression has a debug element. Using dynamic analysis, a set of state information related to the debug element is identified. The set of state information can be generated external to the debugger and used within the debugger subsequent to being generated. Utilizing the set of state information, a tolerance parameter is selected. The tolerance parameter is for a conditional breakpoint linked with the debug element. In response to selecting the tolerance parameter, a triggering event for the conditional breakpoint may be detected. Based on the tolerance parameter, it may be determined to disregard the triggering event. Subsequently, the triggering event can be disregarded. Altogether, aspects of the disclosure provide a methodology for debug management that may provide performance or efficiency benefits.

Abstract: Methods and a system are provided. A method includes implementing a function, which a compiler for a first language does not have, using a compiler for a second language. The implementing step includes generating, by the compiler for the first language, a first abstract syntax tree. The implementing step further includes converting, by a converter, the first abstract syntax tree to a second abstract syntax tree of the compiler for the second language using a conversion table from data representation types in the first language to data representation types in the second language. When a compilation error occurs, the implementing step also includes generating a special node for error processing in the second abstract syntax tree and storing an error token in the special node. When unparsing, the implementing step additionally includes outputting the error token, in the form of source code written in the first language.

Abstract: A method and structure for dynamic memory re-allocation for an application runtime environment (ARE) includes receiving, through an interface of an application runtime environment (ARE), a first set of internal operational metrics of the ARE executing at a current setting S1 on a processor of a computer. A first performance P1 of the ARE is determined at the current setting S1 using the received first set of internal operation metrics. The current setting S1 of the ARE is varied to a new setting S2. A second set of internal operational metrics of the ARE executing at the new setting S2 is received through the interface of the ARE. A second performance P2 of the ARE is determined at the new setting S2, using the received second set of internal operation metrics. A memory allocation for the ARE is re-allocated, based on the determined performances P1 and P2.
