Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying an optimal set of test cases of a larger test case bucket to execute on a new software release. The release includes one or more patches modifying development code of a previous release of the software, and each test case includes metadata specifying a history of the test case relative to an execution on the previous release. In each patch, it is determined, based on the metadata, whether at a test case targets the development code modified by the patch. Upon determining that the test case targets the development code, a score associated with the test case is incremented. The test cases are prioritized for execution based on score.

Abstract: Multiple functional domains are identified for controlling a grouping of servers. A controller assigns, to each functional domain of the multiple functional domains, a separate primary server from among the grouping of servers and a separate backup server from among the grouping of servers, wherein for each functional domain the separate primary server is different from the separate backup server based on a separate affinity selection for each functional domain. Responsive to detecting a failure in a particular primary server of the grouping of servers, the controller automatically switches control of a particular functional domain assigned to the particular primary server from the particular primary server to a particular backup server assigned to the particular functional domain.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for assessing risk of a software program and software updates to a program to prioritize verification resources, which includes receiving code for a software product for a testing assessment. The code is analyzed according to a risk assessment criteria, and the risk assessment criteria includes risk assessment factors. The risk assessment factors for the code are weighted as part of the criteria. A risk assessment score of the code is determined based on the criteria. Testing resources are allocated in response to the risk assessment score.
