  • Publication number: 20240111665
    Abstract: A system includes a network interface configured to access a test script repository, a processing system in communication with the network interface, and a memory system in communication with the processing system. The memory system stores instructions that when executed by the processing system result in configuring a management script associated with a test script of the test script repository to set one or more environment variables used by the test script, the test script configured to test a software component, executing the management script at a scheduled frequency to trigger testing of the software component by the test script, accessing one or more results of executing the test script, comparing the one or more results to a plurality of test criteria to determine a test execution summary, and triggering an alert to notify a service based on the test execution summary indicating a target condition.

  • Patent number: 11849072
    Abstract: Methods and system for automating conferencing in a communication session are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for automating conferencing in a communication session includes establishing a communication session between a first end-user device and a second end-user device; receiving a first notification message from the first end-user device indicating that the communication session is at least one of visible or joinable by one or more devices associated with the first end-user device, wherein the one or more devices are associated with the first end-user device when the one or more devices are one of (i) pre-registered and stored with an association to the first end-user device, (ii) pre-authenticated to tether the one or more devices to the first end-user device, or (iii) pre-associated with a same user account profile; and sending a second notification message to the one or more devices associated with the first end-user device.
