Abstract: Methods and systems of self-partitioning entities. One system includes an electronic processor configured to access the updated job distribution information. The electronic processor is also configured to query a second predetermined number of entities included within a first secondary partition of the one or more secondary partitions. The electronic processor is also configured to determine whether the first secondary partition includes a second set of remaining entities in addition to the second predetermined number of entities. In response to the first secondary partition including a second set of remaining entities, the electronic processor is also configured to divide the second set of remaining entities of the first secondary partition into a third partition, where the third partition has a third partition range smaller than the second partition range, and generate and transmit, to the central queue server, additional updated job distribution information identifying the third partition.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for software testing systems in computing environments are provided herein. In one example, software modules are instantiated within an enveloping framework for replaying or recording of user activity with regards to the software modules. Based at least on the enveloping framework placed in a replay mode of operation, the enveloping framework provides replayed inputs to the software modules based on previously recorded user activity, the replayed inputs each associated with unique identifiers mapping into the previously recorded user activity. The enveloping framework monitors outputs from the software modules and correlates the outputs to the inputs using the unique identifiers. Changes are detected in operation of the software modules based in part on a comparison of previously recorded outputs from the software modules to the outputs that are determined by the software modules when using the replayed inputs.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for validating a new version of a service running in parallel with a previous version of the service. In a validation environment, traffic is duplicated traffic that is inbound to the previous version of the service, for consumption in parallel by the new version of the service. In response to write operations that are prompted by the traffic, the previous version of the service is provided with regular access to the data while the new version of the service is provided with emulated write-access to the data. The non-validated replies to the traffic generated by the new version of the service are then evaluated against expected replies to the traffic generated by the previous version of the service, to identify flaws in the new version of the service.

Abstract: Enhanced licensing technology is disclosed herein. In an implementation, a licensing service provisions license records with license information received from a license provisioning service and indicative of at least a state of each of a plurality of software licenses associated with various users and an operational profile associated with each of various software licenses. License requests are received from various applications for the license information under which to operate the applications. In response to at least one request, the licensing service obtains a current state of the license for an application from the license provisioning service and replies with at least the current state of the license and the operational profile associated with the license as received from the license provisioning service prior to the request.
