  • Patent number: 8930327
    Abstract: In production applications that process and transfer secure and sensitive customer data, the heap dump files of these applications, which may be useful for debugging production issues and bugs, may contain secure and sensitive information. Thus, to make the useful debugging information available in heap dumps from production applications without compromising secure client data to those assigned to debugging and fixing production issues, these heap dumps may be scrubbed of sensitive information without scrubbing information that is useful for debugging.

  • Patent number: 8893093
    Abstract: In application testing and debugging processes, it is necessary to change, rebuild and test code. Thus, to speed the testing and debugging process, the process of retrieving application change lists, rebuilding the application, executing the application and recording application performance metrics may be automated. Additionally, through the use of environment independent metrics 110, application performance can be better evaluated for a wider range of hypothetical hardware configurations than tradition metrics which are highly dependent on the environment in which the test is running.

  • Patent number: 8839209
    Abstract: A method for software performance analysis and debugging in a multi-tenant database network system is provided. In at least one embodiment, sampling is achieved using configuration files of each server cluster. Knowledge of the host names of each server in the cluster enables a profiler to target a single server for each sample, thereby facilitating a round-robin sample across a clustered server environment such that a CPU's load and processing cost associated to sampling is fairly and uniformly distributed across all servers in the cluster. As a result, in at least one embodiment of the analysis and debugging tool each sample is a complete stack trace dump of each thread running on the application server at that moment in time.

  • Patent number: 8752017
    Abstract: A proxy server receives requests, and determines which application server of a cluster of servers to send the request. The determination may be based on a load balancing algorithm. The proxy server determines whether each request is a debug request. The proxy server send the debug request to a debug server, but blocks unsafe debug statements from reaching the debug server.

  • Patent number: 8726240
    Abstract: A method for software debugging in a multi-tenant database network system is provided. When an exception occurs the stack frames in temporary working memory are dumped into long term memory for later analysis. A stack trace is performed from which performance information may be derived, which may aid in discovering the cause of the exception.

  • Patent number: 8707264
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided systems, devices, and methods for testing methods in a multi-tenant database environment, including, for example, hosting a plurality of customer codebases within a host organization, where each of the plurality of customer codebases includes a plurality of operational statements and one or more test methods. Such a method further includes generating a first test result set by executing the one or more test methods associated with each of the plurality of customer codebases against a production release codebase of the host organization; generating a second test result set by executing the one or more test methods associated with each of the plurality of customer codebases against a pre-release codebase of the host organization; and identifying errors associated with the pre-release codebase based on a comparison of the first test result set and the second test result set.
