  • Patent number: 11301350
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated testing of systems and applications. A computing device can receive a command to execute a test, the test comprising at least one fault instruction and an alarm, the alarm being specified as an evaluation criterion for the test. The computing device can then send the fault instruction to a fault injection service. Next, the computing device can receive a message from a monitoring service, the message indicating that the alarm has been triggered subsequent to sending the fault instruction to the fault injection service. Subsequently, the computing device can determine that the test has failed based at least in part on the alarm being triggered. Finally, the computing device can send a failure notification to a predefined recipient in response to detecting that the alarm has been triggered.

  • Publication number: 20220104695
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for an endoscope or other surgical instruments to automatically sense when it's placed inside or outside of a trocar or a cannula. Operational setting of the endoscope may be adjusted as a function of the detected environmental condition to improve the function of the endoscope and the safety of a surgical procedure. The endoscope may include a sensor to sense a tag embedded in a trocar or cannula. The endoscope may transmit sensing information to a controller of a surgical robotic system to indicate that the endoscope has been inserted into the trocar or cannula. The controller may generate configuration information corresponding to the sensed state. The controller may transmit the configuration information to the endoscope to configure the endoscope to operate in the state. In another aspect, the endoscope may wirelessly communicate with another surgical instrument to receive operational information from the surgical instrument.

  • Publication number: 20220100599
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated testing of systems and applications. A computing device can be configured to receive a fault instruction specifying a fault to inject into one or more service requests sent to a service, parameters for the fault, and a duration of the fault. The computing device can then instantiate a service proxy and send a command to the service proxy, wherein the command specifies at least the fault and the parameters for the fault. Next, the computing device can cause service requests sent to the service to be redirected through the service proxy. The service proxy can receive a service request and generate a response to the service request that contains the fault based at least in part on the parameters for the fault. The service proxy can then return the response to the service request.

  • Publication number: 20220100645
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated testing of systems and applications. A first computing device may be in data communication with a second computing device. The first computing device can receive a fault instruction specifying receive a fault instruction specifying a fault to inject into a virtual compute instance, parameters for the fault, a duration of the fault, and an identifier of the virtual compute instance. The first computing device can then send a command to a second computing device that hosts the virtual compute instance, wherein the command specifies at least the fault, the parameters for the fault, and the virtual compute instance. In turn, the second computing device can receive the command from the first computing device, save a pre-fault state of the virtual compute instance, and then introduce the fault into the virtual compute instance.

  • Publication number: 20220021632
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a framework for delivering electronic messages to a recipient in an optimized manner based on current real-world and digital activities associated with the recipient. Once a message sent by a sender is received by the message platform, the message and information related to a user's activity is analyzed, and a delivery condition is determined by the messaging platform. The platform then sends the message according to that delivery condition, such that it is delivered to the user only upon the platform relaying the message thereon when the condition is satisfied or occurs.
