Abstract: Manually framing questions for research and evaluation has the disadvantage that quality and effectiveness of questions of the questions depend on knowledge and expertise of subject matter expert who is framing the questions. The disclosure herein generally relates to data processing, and, more particularly, to a method and system for generating protocol for data extraction from one or more users. The system identifies sub-objectives corresponding to an identified research objective, and then generates questions to get response that matches the objective and sub-objectives. Further, a sequence is decided for the questions, and accordingly recommendations are generated. The system also assesses whether response obtained from users has reached saturation, and accordingly generates trigger to terminate data collection.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is disclosed for identifying and verifying entry points in a software application. The method may include processing, using a processor, input data for a software application. The processing may include generating one or more call graphs for said software application, identifying one or more root parameters for each of said one or more call graphs, and setting the one or more root parameters as a first set of entry points, and filtering the first set of entry points using a first call length value provided by a user to generate a second set of entry points. The method may further include displaying, using the processor, the second set of entry points along with their respective call graphs.

Abstract: The present disclosure in general relates to a software compliance analysis and in particular to a system and method to provide compliance scrutiny and in-depth analysis of a software application. In one embodiment, a software compliance analysis method is disclosed, comprising: allowing a user to select one or more industry compliance standards with respect to a particular safety level; initiating a compliance verification process for the software application with respect to one or more normative parameters associated with the safety level; mapping the selected compliance standards with features of one or more analysis tools; analyzing only the mapped features of the one or more analysis tools to calculate a compliance level for the software application; and visually representing compliance of the software application in a multi-stage manner providing one or more suggestive measures to meet a desired compliance level.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to identifying the source of run-time execution failure and performing static analysis on the computer program without changing actual computer program code. In one embodiment, a method for performing static analysis on run-time execution failure is disclosed, comprising: identifying a point of interest in a computer program by statically analyzing the computer program, wherein the point of interest comprises one of: a variable or an expression; identifying previous assignments of the variable or the expression by performing static analysis depending on a value associated with the variable or the expression; modifying the value to a new value or modifying the expression to a new expression; modifying the computer program based upon the new value or the new expression to generate a modified computer program; and performing incremental static analysis on the modified computer program in order to identify a change in the computer program.
