Patent number: 10748068Abstract: An approach for predictively scoring test case results in real-time. Test case results associated with a test run are received by a software testing environment. Using predictive statistical models, test case results and attribute relationships are matched against model rules and test case history. A statistical correlation and confidence parameter provide the ability to generate test case relationships for predicting the outcome of other test cases in the test run. The test case relationships are transformed into scoring results and output for the further processing.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kevin B. Smith, Andrew J. Thompson, David R. Waddling

Patent number: 10452508Abstract: In an approach for managing a set of tests to run on a set of platforms, a processor identifies a set of tests to run on a set of platforms and one or more priorities associated with the set of tests. A processor sends the set of tests and the one or more priorities associated with the set of tests to the set of platforms. A processor receives information about a first test run of a first test on a first platform of the set of platforms. A processor determines that the first test failed on the first platform. A processor updates the one or more priorities associated with the set of tests. A processor sends the updated one or more priorities associated with the set of tests to at least the second platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Elizabeth J. Maple, Alexander R. Pringle, Kevin B. Smith, David R. Waddling

Patent number: 10372501Abstract: Provisioning of computing resources for a workload in a networked computing environment. A method receives a set of provisioning requests in a computer data structure of a networked computing environment, wherein the provisioning requests relate to a workload request. The method further identifies a set of provisioning operations for computing resources in the networked computing environment to perform the provisioning requests. The method determines, for each provisioning operation of the provisioning operations, a respective provisioning time, the respective provisioning time being an amount of time for a particular computing resource to become prepared and equipped to perform a job. The determining the respective provisioning time for each provisioning operation provides a plurality of determined provisioning times.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael J. Shaffer, Kevin B. Smith, David R. Waddling

Publication number: 20170161179Abstract: In an approach to selecting a set of test resources for testing a computer program including untested computer program code, one or more computer processors retrieve a time stamp for an untested computer program code, wherein the time stamp is indicative of a time of generation of the untested computer program code. The one or more computer processors calculate, based, at least in part, on the retrieved time stamp, an accuracy risk factor for the untested computer program code. The one or more computer processors select, based, at least in part, on the calculated accuracy risk factor, a set of one or more test resources from a pool of test resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Elizabeth J.
