Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a set of complete source instructions to process a source code entity, an incremental build part, and a set of file definitions. The method analyzes the set of complete source instructions. The method identifies, from the set of analyzed source instructions, a set of operations that reference the incremental build subset. The method repeats: (i) determining, for each operation, whether any additional files are affected by the operation, the additional files forming a set of affected files; (ii) creating a combined set of files, the combined set of files consisting of the set of affected files and the incremental build subset; and (iii) updating the set of operations to include those from the analyzed source instructions that reference the combined set of files; until no new files are added to the combined set of files. The method generates a set of incremental source instructions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems to increase code coverage. Embodiments of the present invention can receive a copy of source code and data associated with a sample execution of a set of instructions specified by the copy of the source code. Embodiments of the present invention can insert, into the set of instructions specified by the copy of the source code, an instruction that corresponds to a code statement that precedes an untraversed code path within the received copy of the source code. Embodiments of the present invention can execute the set of instructions that include the inserted instruction and provide an option to redirect execution of the set of instructions at the inserted instruction. Embodiments of the present invention can generate a test case that increases code coverage based on the redirected execution of the set of instructions.

Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating editing of a large, remote file across a client-server architecture. In one example, a method includes outputting, for communication to a system hosting a remote file, in response to an initial user input to edit the remote file, a request for a portion of the remote file, wherein the portion of the remote file is specified to include a selected opening position. The method further includes receiving a client copy of the portion of the remote file. The client copy includes a range of pages from the remote file. The range of pages includes an opening position corresponding to the selected opening position. The client copy of the portion of the remote file is loaded in client memory. The method further includes performing a user edit incorporation process iteratively for respective pages in the client copy of the portion of the remote file.

Abstract: A portion is selected from a code for code coverage analysis. The portion is not directly referenceable by another portion of the code. An instruction is constructed to insert a code coverage breakpoint at the portion such that the code coverage analysis is performed only for the portion and the code coverage analysis of a remainder of the code is omitted. Using the instruction, a code coverage analysis tool is caused to execute the code without performing the code coverage analysis until the code coverage breakpoint. Responsive to the instruction, the code coverage analysis tool is further caused to end the code coverage analysis after the portion and resume executing the code without performing the code coverage analysis. A report of the code coverage analysis of the portion is produced.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, a computer program product and a data processing system for executing an application written in a dynamic language are provided. An execution point of the application is loaded. A list of classes associated with the execution point is generated. The loading of each class in the list of classes is simulated. New execution points and new classes accessible from each execution point within each class in the list of classes are identified by recursively parsing instructions associated with each execution point. The list is modified to include the identified new execution points and new classes. Responsive to a determination that new execution points and new classes have been identified, the steps of identifying new execution points and new classes and modifying the list is repeated. The list is saved.

Abstract: A method for implementing a geometric array in a computing environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing an array of slots, where each slot is configured to store a pointer. Each pointer in the array points to a block of elements. Each pointer with the exception of the first pointer in the array points to a block of elements that is twice as large as the block of elements associated with the preceding pointer. Such a structure allows the geometric array to grow by simply adding a pointer to the array that points to a new block of elements that is twice as large as the block of elements associated with the preceding pointer in the array. A corresponding computer program product, as well as a method for accessing data in the geometric array, are also disclosed.

Abstract: View definitions are created for deterministic performance analysis in real-time computing systems, and can then be used to present views for analyzing outliers that occur during run-time execution. Trace data created by a real-time application is compared to a set of view definitions to determine whether the trace data matches the view definition. If so, then related records from the trace are gathered according to specifications in the matched view definition, and calculations (such as elapsed time) can then be performed using the related records. A view definition may be created by prompting a user for selection of parameters to be programmatically inserted into a markup language document. A capability may be provided whereby a user can receive additional information (which is extracted from the trace data, according to specifications in the matched view definition) upon a user gesture such as hovering a selection means over a displayed view.
