Patent number: 10198255Abstract: A system and a method of rating software bugs using a bug scoring and tracking system is presented. The system and method may use automated scoring of the bugs to determine the impact of the bug. The system and method may connect to one or more databases to determine the extent of the deployment of the software, the impact of the bug, and/or the history of the bug. Scoring is used to prioritize the bugs and the scoring is extensible and adjustable allowing easy addition of new parameters and allowing the system to be modified for different bug types, software, or customers.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Antony Higginson, Michael Greenough, Catalin Trifu, John Masterson, Jean Fagan

Patent number: 9967154Abstract: Administrative tasks and services associated with computer systems are simplified and streamlined with a platform architecture that supports remote administration, development, and deployment of services. A system is configured with a support cloud platform to allow automation of tasks and services and the reuse of components. The platform generates, stores, deploys, executes, and monitors services through their complete life cycle. Services may be designed, made available for deployment, deployed to a customer, executed and monitored using the platform.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2013Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: John Masterson, Larry Abramson, Sean Fitzpatrick, Niall Flynn, Antony Higginson
