Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides non-intergeneric remodeled microbes that are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen and deliver such to plants in a targeted, efficient, and environmentally sustainable manner. The utilization of the taught microbial products will enable farmers to realize more productive and predictable crop yields without the nutrient degradation, leaching, or toxic runoff associated with traditional synthetically derived nitrogen fertilizer. The remodeled microbes taught herein are able to be combined with leading agricultural chemistry and elite germplasm. Furthermore, the disclosure provides seed treatments comprising remodeled microbes.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing movable elements of a multiple-axis drive mechanism with respect to the fixed base thereof during launch to prevent damage while unpowered. Mating surfaces of the lock secure the mechanism about all three axes of motion. Thus, the drives need to be only sufficiently designed to break free one element of the launch lock from the other element. Tapered or other guiding surfaces of the two elements of the launch lock make it self-aligning, such that mating surfaces are guided together once placed in sufficiently close proximity.
