  • Patent number: 8326783
    Abstract: A method and system to minimize redundancy in testing a new software system by utilizing a knowledge base is provided. The knowledge base may be represented in a form of a decision tree including leaf nodes which store previously tested optimal configurations. When the knowledge base does not contain an optimal configuration for the new software, an optimal solution for the new software system may be determined by adding a further decision tree branch to the initial decision tree. A desirable tree branch may be selected from a table including a predetermined set of desirable tree branches for each category of software. As a result, the number of solutions to be tested on the input software may be limited and cost and effort to run redundant tests on a software system may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8185876
    Abstract: Method and system for constructing corrected Java native code are provided. Native source code that interfaces or integrates with Java code is analyzed and validated before the source code is compiled. One or more checks are performed on the native source code to verify that the native source correctly interfaces with the Java code, and the verification results from said one or more checks are reported. The method and system for constructing corrected Java native code can be implemented as a plug-in to a program development environment, wherein a developer may invoke the method and system while developing said native source code.

  • Patent number: 7275241
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer instructions for dynamic intermediate code transformation in a mixed mode compiler. In an exemplary embodiment, an object code compiler of a virtual-machine, such as the just-in-time (JIT) compiler (415) of a Java virtual machine (JVM), takes loaded classes and compiles these into object code (416). A JIT-enabled dynamic instrumentation (JEDI) interface (420) provides information to an application (e.g., a tool with a GUI), and passes requests for transformation to the JIT (415) and class-loader (410). If loaded, JEDI controls the JIT compiler (415) to compile and transform the class into object code. Thus, dynamically transformed object code is produced without transformation or re-loading of the loaded classes.
