Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for using computer vision to automatically generate a unit test case. A computer converts a text file of a source code to an image file of the source code. A computer inputs the image file to a neural network having been trained with source code images. The neural network identifies elements in the image file. The neural network generates a resulting image including identified elements in the image file. A computer extracts the identified elements from the resulting image. A computer generates a text file including a key value map of the identified elements. A computer generates a scaffold of a unit test case, based on the key value map.

Abstract: A method for facilitating data security for transaction data includes receiving, by a first transaction processing server, a transaction message for a transaction. The transaction message includes a plurality of data elements indicative of the transaction data of the transaction. The first transaction processing server identifies a set of data elements of the plurality of data elements that is to be in a state of compliance with a set of rules. The first transaction processing server modifies a first data element of the plurality of data elements to include a bitmap mapped to the set of data elements. The first transaction processing server communicates the transaction message having the modified first data element to a second transaction processing server for processing the transaction. The second transaction processing server identifies the set of data elements that is to be in the state of compliance based on the first data element.

Abstract: A method for facilitating in-transit purchase of products includes receiving, by a server from a user device, route information of a route being traversed by a user in a vehicle and a current location of the transport vehicle. Based on the route information and the current location, the server recommends, to the user, a product available for purchase and a pickup location for collecting the product. The server receives, from the user, an order request indicative of the product, the pickup location, and an identifier of a radio frequency tag placed in the vehicle. Upon acceptance of the order request, the server initiates blocking of a transaction amount associated with the product from a payment account that is linked to the identifier. When the product is collected by the user from the pickup location, the server initiates a deduction of the blocked amount from the payment account.

Abstract: Techniques described herein improve network security and traffic management. In an embodiment, a request associated with an identifier (ID) is received. It is determined whether the ID exists in a first membership database (MDB). If the ID exists in the first MDB, the request is serviced subject to a rate limit. If the ID does not exist in the first MDB, it is determined whether the ID exists in a second MDB. If the ID exists in the second MDB, the request is serviced. If the ID does not exist in the second MDB, the request is serviced subject to another rate limit. A response is received. The first and second MDBs can be updated based on the type of received response. In an embodiment, the response is classified as indicative of degraded or typical network performance, and the first and second MDBs are updated accordingly.
