John Dennis Casey has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9875097
    Abstract: Implementations disclose applying configuration alignment in build projects is disclosed. A method of an implementation of the disclosure includes retrieving a build script (BS) file configuration from a BS file. The BS configuration includes a configuration to perform a build of a project The method also includes determining whether the BS configuration aligns with a target configuration. The method further includes aligning the BS configuration with the target configuration when it is determined that the BS configuration does not align with the target configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9665849
    Abstract: A mechanism for employing dependency graph in software build projects is disclosed. A method of implementation of the invention includes receiving a first build script file associated with a software project, the first build script file identifying a plurality of project dependencies associated with the software project. The method also includes parsing the first build script file to generate a project dependency graph corresponding to the first build script file. The project dependency graph includes a plurality of vertices representing to the plurality of software project dependencies and further includes a plurality of edges representing relationships between the plurality of the software project dependencies. The method also includes determining a build order of the plurality of software project dependencies using the project dependency graph.
