Patent number: 10095611Abstract: Disclosures herein describe a record and replay regression and unit test automation framework for simulating any hardware on a virtual machine to achieve thorough, affordable and efficient software testing. According to the disclosures herein, the test automation framework includes a recording stage where input and output messages for all the interfaces for a process (e.g., an embedded system or any software system or process) running on the original hardware may be recorded along with metadata in a space-optimized and efficient manner. The testing framework also includes a replay stage using innovative thread synchronization approaches that leverage the metadata to simulate the environment for the recorded embedded process in isolation, which may be done on an inexpensive machine or hardware. Thus, the original custom hardware, which may be expensive and costly to run, is not needed for the replay phase of testing.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Jayaram Hanumanthappa, Ravi Shankar Pandey, Rajasekar Venkatesan, Anthony Jorgenson

Patent number: 9794658Abstract: A device may receive health information associated with a network circuit included in an optical network. The device may determine, based on the health information and network circuit information associated with the network circuit, that the network circuit is experiencing a health issue. The device may identify a diagnostic technique to be applied to the network circuit based on determining that the network circuit is experiencing the health issue. The device may automatically and iteratively apply the identified diagnostic technique to the network circuit in order to identify a fault location. The device may determine a corrective action, associated with the network circuit, based on the fault location and the health issue. The device may provide information associated with the corrective action to cause the corrective action to be taken.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Pydi Kasi Viswanadham, Lam D.

Patent number: 9246704Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for improving the efficient deployment and configuration of networking equipment within a network build-out. In certain embodiments of the invention, an iterative analysis of inter-node equipment placement and connectivity, and inter- and intra-node traffic flow is performed to identify a preferred deployment solution. This analysis of deployment optimization takes into account both configurations from a network node perspective as well as from a network system perspective. Deployment solutions are iteratively progressed and analyzed to determine a preferred solution based on both the cost of deployment and satisfaction of the network demands. In various embodiments of the invention, a baseline marker is generated from which the accuracy of the solution may be approximated that suggests to an engineer whether the deployment is approaching an optimal solution.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Steven Joseph Hand, Jayaram Hanumanthappa, Mohit Misra, Maneesh Jain, Rajasekar Venkatesan, Atul Saxena

Patent number: 9141519Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure, a block of software code or “software code block” that is executed while particular tests are carried out is assigned a software code block identifier, which is associated with test identifiers, which, in turn, identify the tests that were performed. The software code block identifiers and corresponding test identifiers are then stored in a database. When a portion of the software code block is later modified, either by a change to one or more lines of the code or by deleting or adding code, the corresponding software code block identifier is determined or selected, and then used to access the corresponding test identifiers from the database. The test identifiers are then used to generate a report, for example, that lists each test to be performed in order to determine whether the modified software code block operates properly.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Sriram Subramanian, Rajasekar Venkatesan, Manjunath Bandi, Varatharajan Irusappan, Anand Pritam
