  • Patent number: 8793535
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a digital asset testing system 200 may test a digital asset 202 before posting at a digital distribution store. A communication interface 180 may receive a digital asset 202. A processor 120 may execute testing of the digital asset 202 on a testing virtual machine 212 of a virtual machine set. The processor 120 may execute testing of the digital asset 202 simultaneous with testing executed on each virtual machine 212 of the virtual machine set. The processor 120 may delay testing of the digital asset 202 on the testing virtual machine 212 if a testing virtual machine configuration 214 is stale.

  • Publication number: 20130036069
    Abstract: A reputation quality control environment and methodology utilizes periodic automated product scoring and timely manual product reviews to ensure the accuracy of product rankings. The reputation quality control environment has a reputation scale that is divided into one or more reputation bands with product placement within each successively higher band signifying a more desirable product. Products included within the quality control environment are periodically automatically scored based on one or more product characteristic values. Products whose reputation score renders them eligible for a new, higher reputation band are manually reviewed prior to being allowed into the higher band. Products whose product reputation score is on a trajectory that indicates the product will likely attempt to enter a new, higher reputation band within a predetermined timeframe are timely manually reviewed so that acceptable products can be instantaneously allowed into the new band when their reputation score provides for it.
