Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating normalized analysis artifacts for a source code base. One of the methods includes receiving a request to perform an analysis of a collection of source code files in a particular file system, wherein each source code file in the particular file system has a respective associated original file path. One or more normalized analysis artifacts are generated for the collection of source code files, including applying a file path transformation function to the original file path of each source code file referenced by the analysis artifacts to generate a normalized file path for the source code file, wherein each reference in the normalized analysis artifacts to a particular source code file uses the normalized file path for the particular source code file instead of the original file path for the particular source code file.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system including techniques for developing and executing automated test cases are described herein.

The definition of each test case may occur within a testing user interface, including displaying and receiving user selection of available methods for testing; displaying user parameter fields and receiving user parameter values in response for testing; abstracting parameter types in the user parameter values; and generating XML-format definitions of the test case. The test case automation tool may then execute the selected methods of the software application using parameters provided in the XML-format definitions, and return testing results of the test case execution.

Abstract: A server, terminal device, and a non-transitory data storage medium for supporting wireless terminal devices of a cellular network for implementing program updates are described. The server includes a memory, a processor which receives instructions from the memory for execution, programs utilized in the wireless terminal devices, a receiver, and a transmitter. The receiver is configured to receive a message from a wireless terminal device requesting installation of a program to the wireless terminal device. The installation is caused by a change of an activated use profile of the wireless terminal device to another use profile, when the wireless terminal device is in an operating state with power on. The activated use profile and the another use profile include dissimilar lists of programs required in certain use situations of a user. The transmitter is configured to send the program to the wireless terminal device as an over-the-air message.

Based upon the query, one or more extension deployment components can be retrieved from a second software repository. The one or more extension deployment components can be deployed on top of one or more instances of the one or more core deployment patterns.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a global entry point and a local entry point for a callee function. An aspect includes executing, by a processor, a function call from a calling function to the callee function. Another aspect includes, based on the function call being a direct and external function call, entering the callee function at the global entry point and executing prologue code in the callee function that calculates and stores a table of contents (TOC) value for the callee function in a TOC register. Another aspect includes, based on the function call being a direct and local function call, entering the callee function at the local entry point, wherein entering the callee function at the local entry point skips the prologue code. Another aspect includes, based on the function call being an indirect function call, entering the callee function at the global entry point and executing the prologue code.

Abstract: A tracing and debugging system may take a snapshot of an application in response to an event, and may continue executing the program after the snapshot is captured.

The snapshot may contain a subset of the state of the application, such as call stacks, portions of source code, the values of local and global variables, and various metadata. The snapshot may be defined in a snapshot configuration that may include an event description and data to be collected.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for linking selected messages in electronic message threads. In one embodiment, related messages are identified and graphic elements associated with a first message are displayed on a user interfaces. Responsive to receiving a user interaction with the graphical element, a second message can be viewed, where the second message either responds to the first message or is responded to by the first message. Displaying graphical elements associated with related messages can eliminate potential confusion between users in group messages.

The method includes the steps of receiving source code for a program, translating the source code into an intermediate representation, analyzing the intermediate representation to identify at least two objects that could use a first allocated memory space in a thread stack memory, and modifying the intermediate representation by replacing references to a first object of the at least two objects with a reference to a second object of the at least two objects.

Abstract: When a computing system is running at a lower clock rate, in response to an event that triggers the computing system to increase the clock rate, a list of threads pending execution by the computing system is accessed. The list includes a thread that, when executed, causes the clock rate to increase. That thread is selected and executed before any other thread in the list is executed.

Abstract: A method of verifying software may include receiving a portion of a software program that includes multiple functions. The method may also include clustering the functions into two or more clusters of functions and generating a symbolic driver for each of the clusters of functions such that multiple symbolic drivers are generated.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying impacted tests from statically collected data. In general, static dependency data, possibly augmented with some dynamic data, is used to find an appropriate set of impacted tests for code changes. In some embodiments, static dependency analysis is used to identify tests impacted by a code change. Heuristics can be used to assist with identifying an appropriate set of impacted tests to run for a code change. Dynamic data can be used to augment static dependency data to identify more optimal sets of impacted tests to run for a code change.

Abstract: Code suggestion technique embodiments are presented that improve the productivity of a programmer by assisting in both the writing of code and in debugging the code as it is being written. In general, this is accomplished by automating a search of a database of the past work and problem solving activities of programmers to make suggestion to a programmer currently writing code. For example, as a programmer enters code, suggested ways of finishing a line or code section are presented based on how previous programmers finished a similar line or code section. Another example involves a programmer who encounters an error message while writing code. In such a case, the programmer is provided with a suggested fix or fixes, based on the actions taken by previous developers when encountering a similar problem.
