Patent number: 11074228Abstract: Systems and techniques for three-dimensional file event representation are described herein. File event data may be obtained for a file for a time segment. The file event data may include a file system hierarchy for the file. A spatial file operation map may be generated for the file system hierarchy including a file operation map for the file for the time segment. The file operation map for the file may include a plurality of layers with each layer of the plurality of layers representing a file operation class available for the file. It may be determined that a file operation was performed on the file during the time segment based on the file event data. An indication may be generated on a layer of the plurality layers of the file operation map that the file operation was performed. The layer corresponds to a file operation class of the file operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Code 42 Software, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Florin, Thomas Anthony Lindquist, David Gibbens

Patent number: 10387294Abstract: In a method of testing a software item, an error condition may occur during an automated test of a software item. In response to the error, the test remains in an active state. An alteration to the test is accepted. Once altered, a test may continue using the altered test.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventor: David Gibbens

Patent number: 10067858Abstract: In a method of software item testing, an automated test of a software item is initiated in a cloud-based computing environment in exchange for a fee. The test is part of a testing framework in the cloud-based computing environment. In response to occurrence of an error condition during the test, the test is paused within the cloud-based computing environment. An alteration to the test is accepted while the test is paused. The alteration is accepted via a user interface to the cloud-based computing environment. Testing is continued within the cloud-based computing environment, using altered test.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Sean McDonald, David Gibbens

Patent number: 9684587Abstract: In a method of executing a test while creating the test, a portion of a line of a test case for a software item is received. The syntax of the received portion of the line is validated upon entry of the portion of the line. The line is executed after the syntax validation. Any error based on execution is indicated.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: David Gibbens, Mark Tempel
-
Patent number: 9292422Abstract: In a method of testing a software item, a graphical user interface is presented for scheduling a test of the software item. Specified information regarding conduct of a test is received via the graphical user interface. The specified information includes a test time for initiating the test. The test is initiated at the test time.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Callistus C Schissel, Andrew Moravec, Sean McDonald, Scott Rens, David Gibbens

Patent number: 9292416Abstract: In a method of software development kit (SDK) testing, a graphical user interface is provided for initializing a test of an SDK. An application is created to run against the SDK. The output of the SDK is verified.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: David Gibbens, Nicholas Krueger, Sean McDonald, Scott Rens, Travis Dow

Patent number: 9069902Abstract: In a method of creating a custom action, a user interface is presented for entry of lines of a custom action. In response to receipt of a sub-portion of a line of the custom action via said user interface, the sub-portion is automatically checked for errors in syntax. The custom action is stored as a selectable custom action in a dynamic layer of a testing infrastructure. The dynamic layer of the testing infrastructure is associated with a particular instance of a software item.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: David Gibbens, Mark Tempel, Sean McDonald, Scott Rens

Patent number: 8949794Abstract: In a method of binding a software item to a plain English name, a user input of a plain English control name is received into a test file. A user interface under test is automatically searched for a control corresponding to the plain English control name. The corresponding control in the software item under test is automatically bound to the plain English control name.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Mark Tempel, Muktar Hassen, David Gibbens
-
Patent number: 8839202Abstract: In a method of managing a test environment, a test of a software item is initiated, wherein the test manages a test environment that the test executes test cases against during run time. At least one global variable file is accessed. The global variable file describes the test environment and defines references to machine names.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Mark Tempel, David Gibbens, Callistus C Schissel

Patent number: 8839201Abstract: In a method of testing a software item, an automated test of a software item is conducted. In response to occurrence of an error condition during the test, test data associated with the error condition is captured. A portion of the captured test data is forwarded to a designated electronic notification location.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Callistus C Schissel, Sean McDonald, David Gibbens
