  • Publication number: 20230153233
    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.

  • Patent number: 11640637
    Abstract: Geographical mapping and linking of security and risk indicator data. Cross-references are created between location indicators and geo-spatial areas based on a statistical algorithm, in accordance with geo-spatial data. The cross-references are stored in a first data table. A credit risk indicator (CRI) is generated for each geo-spatial area based on other data, forming CRI data that is stored in second data table. A security associated with one of the location indicators is identified among security data. A first link is created between the security and a geo-spatial area based on the cross-references in the first data table. Based on the first link, a second link is created between an indicator among the CRI data in the second data table and the security. The second link is used to form instrument-level data for the security that includes the indicator. The instrument-level data is stored in a third data table.

  • Publication number: 20230021530
    Abstract: A timeline generation and solving tool is provided to parameterize a project at an application lifecycle management (“ALM”) tool, and generate and solve a timeline of features according to the parameterized project. The Scrum master may re-parameterize the project, causing a new timeline to be generated, solved, and visualized. In this fashion, the Scrum master may rapidly prototype many project parameterizations, resulting in many possible timelines. Without the use of a timeline generation and solving tool which interfaces with an ALM tool, retrieves project features, and converts project features to a common format suitable for computations based on working speeds, a Scrum master would need to generate and check a timeline by hand, and work indirectly by manually copying data out of the ALM tool, leading to a slow and potentially error-prone project roadmapping process which does not permit rapid prototyping of possible timelines.

  • Patent number: 11480060
    Abstract: The present technique presents a turbomachine component having an airfoil e.g. a vane of a gas turbine. The airfoil wall defines an internal space which includes a first and a second cooling channels having a first and a second impingement inserts, that define a first main and a first peripheral flow channels in the first cooling channel and a second main and a second peripheral flow channels in the second cooling channel, respectively. Impingement jets ejected from the main flow channels via impingement holes of the corresponding impingement inserts are received in the corresponding peripheral flow channels. A channel connecting conduit conducts a flow of the cooling air from the first cooling channel to the second cooling channel. The channel connecting conduit includes an inlet connected to an outlet of the first cooling channel, and an outlet connected to an inlet of the second cooling channel.
