  • Patent number: 9916224
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for integrating source code analysis tools with a code review tool. A user submits a code change to the code review tool and one or more code analysis tools are automatically initiated to analyze the changed code. Results of the code analysis tool(s) are automatically provided back to the code review tool. Additionally or alternatively, one or more tests are automatically run to test one or more executables that are based on the changed code. Results of the test(s) are automatically provided to the code review tool. In this way, an effect of a code change is automatically determined and available for review along with the code change. The results of any code analysis tools and/or tests may be posted synchronously or asynchronously with the corresponding code change.

  • Patent number: 9632919
    Abstract: An example request change tracker may be used to create, modify, monitor, and report events occurring within a development and testing pipeline with respect to one or more computing applications. A request change tracker may include a pipeline event detector, a testing stage detector, a control module, and a reporting module. The pipeline event detector detects a pipeline event indicative of a status of a code module with respect to a pipeline. The testing stage detector determines the associated testing stage in the pipeline, based on the pipeline event. The control module initiates actions with respect to the pipeline, based on the determined testing stage. The reporting module updates a reporting log with information related to the state, progress and results of a testing stage in the pipeline.

  • Patent number: 9216851
    Abstract: A medical dispenser for storing and dispensing electrodes includes a housing having a front member and a back member, at least one electrode strip disposed between the front member and the back member of the housing and an actuator mounted to the front member of the housing and adapted to engage the at least one electrode strip. The electrode strip includes a strip member and a plurality of electrodes mounted to the strip member. The actuator is movable relative to the front member such that movement of the actuator results in corresponding movement of the at least one electrode strip to dispense an electrode from the housing. The actuator may be adapted to engage an electrode of the at least one electrode strip. In one embodiment, the actuator is adapted to engage a male terminal of the electrode.

  • Patent number: 9092287
    Abstract: A product deployment system of an electronic document is described. An example product deployment system includes a deployment processor, a remote execution module, and a plan manager. The deployment processor may be configured to receive a request to deploy an application, generated a deployment plan, provide the deployment plan to the plan manager, and trigger a command to be sent from the remote execution module to the target hosts in the target host set. The plan manager provides the deployment plan to the target host set in response to receiving the identification of the deployment plan from the target host set. The plan manager may also monitor execution of the deployment plan by the target host set without saving a state of deployment process that is being performed at the target host set. The plan manager may also react to perceived failures that may occur at the target host set.

  • Publication number: 20150143327
    Abstract: An example project management tool, which is a computer-implemented system configured to provide a real-time view of a product change with respect to its status within a testing process, is provided. In operation, the project management tool receives a request to create a new project for a particular product change, determines the requirement definition included in the request and, based on the requirement definition, identifies all components of the associated computing application that are affected by the product change. The project management tool then uses the monitored information to generate one or more views that may provide users with information regarding the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the product that has a certain product change incorporated into it.

  • Publication number: 20150121351
    Abstract: Configuring a computer-based application on one or more computer systems includes compiling a configuration source to generate a compiled configuration file. Compiling the configuration source may also include accessing an application definition that includes a property definition, where the property definition includes a name attribute and a type attribute. Compiling the configuration source may further include selecting a property source from the configuration source based on the property source having a name attribute that matches the name attribute of the property definition. The property source may also include a value, and a type check may be performed on that value based on the type attribute of the property definition. Thereafter, a configuration property may be recorded in the compiled configuration file, where the configuration property includes a name specified by the name attribute of the property definition and the value of the property source.

  • Patent number: 8707160
    Abstract: User-generated tags from viewing web-based content are collected over a predetermined period of time. A subset of distinct or unique tags is identified from among the collected tags. A z-score is calculated for each identified distinct tag, where the z-score is a measure of the statistical significance of the tag. The subset of distinct tags is then sorted based on their corresponding z-score. All distinct tags having a corresponding z-score lower than a predetermined threshold are rejected and the remaining distinct tags, having a corresponding z-score higher than the threshold are used to infer a user's interest. The ability to infer a user's interests from the remaining distinct tags may thus benefit web-based applications by achieving a high degree of accuracy in predicting the interests of users by leveraging on the use of the user generated content tags and keywords.
