  • Patent number: 8635598
    Abstract: The automated generation of code decoration for a body of code under review. Upon accessing the body of code, the system evaluates portions of the code for context. For at least some of those portions of code, the system identifies a decoration corresponding to that context, and adds the identified decoration to the body of code in a manner that the decoration is visually associated with the corresponding portion of the code.

  • Patent number: 8627280
    Abstract: A multi-tenant collaborative review service that facilitates collaborative review of a review target artifact set. The service is multi-tenant in that it provides common functions and infrastructure that are available across multiple tenants supported by the review service. Furthermore, the review service is extensible in that it provides an extensibility point into which tenant-specific functions may be incorporated into the review service. For each one or more of the tenants, the corresponding review target artifact set is distributed such that a tenant-accessible subset of the artifact set is maintained uniquely accessible by the corresponding tenant, and such that a centralized service subset of the review target artifact set is maintained remote from the corresponding tenant.

  • Patent number: 8122089
    Abstract: A system provides high availability electronic message forwarding. When an electronic message is communicated to a first server, a copy of the electronic message is maintained at a second server. The electronic message is maintained on both servers until the electronic message is successfully communicated to a third server. After the message is delivered to the third server, the electronic message is removed from both the first server and the second server. If the first server fails to communicate the electronic message to the third server, the second server does so.
