Patent number: 11616882Abstract: Traditionally, when a feature is updated or a new feature is released, the feature undergoes internal testing and validation before external distribution. However, some features may receive proportionately less internal usage than customer usage reflected externally. Low internal usage of features can lead to weak telemetry data, which can allow code regressions (e.g., bugs) to go undetected until the features are released to customers. Accordingly, accelerated internal feature usage is provided to mirror external customer usage. Highly used features are dynamically identified and, any deficiencies in internal feature usage are identified. Tenant sites estimated to generate at least a portion of the deficiency in feature usage are identified. These sites may be migrated or replicated to internal validation rings to generate additional internal feature usage.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nidhi Verma, Andrei Nicolae, Rahul Nigam, Parminder Pal Singh

Patent number: 11567756Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for automating the causality detection process when upgrades are deployed to different resources that provide a service. The resources can include physical and/or virtual resources (e.g., processing, storage, and/or networking resources) that are divided into different, geographically dispersed, resource units. To determine whether a root cause of a problem is associated with an upgrade event that has recently been deployed, a system is configured to use telemetry data to compute an upgrade-to-upgrade score that represents differences between two different upgrade events that are deployed to the same resource unit. The system is further configured to use telemetry data to compute an upgrade unit-to-unit score that represents differences between the same upgrade event being deployed to two different resource units. The scores can be used to output an alert, for an analyst, that signals whether a recently deployed upgrade event is the cause of a problem.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Andrei Nicolae, Rahul Nigam, Parminder Pal Singh, Mark R.
