Abstract: A system is provided that includes one management cluster to manage network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) resources lifecycle in more than one edge POD locations, where resources include hardware and/or software, and where software resources lifecycle includes software development, upgrades, downgrades, logging, monitoring etc. Methods are provided for decoupling storage from compute and network functions in each virtual machine (VM)-based NFVI deployment location and moving it to a centralized location. Centralized storage could simultaneously interact with more than one edge PODs, and the security is built-in with periodic key rotation. Methods are provided for increasing NFVI system viability by dedicating (fencing) CPU core pairs for specific controller operations and workload operations, and sharing the CPU cores for specific tasks.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for optimizing a source code are provided. Dependencies for each header file and source code file in the source code are identified for all possible compilation contexts. Certain dependencies can be classified into complete types and incomplete types or named references. Further, these incomplete type dependencies are removed by adding forward declarations where appropriate.

Abstract: A system and method for selective regression testing is described. The system and method provides a test script database identifying multiple portions of a first low level code (e.g., assembly code) and tests associated with at least one of the multiple portions of first low level code. A comparator may identify a change set between the multiple portions of the first low level code and corresponding portions of modified low level code. After the database has been queried by a changed set query module, using the identified change set as key, an optimum or reduced test suite is identified from the database, to be run on the modified low level code, thereby to verify the change set.

Abstract: A computer system and method are provided for the verification of functional equivalence between at least two source codes residing on at least one computer. A comparison is carried out between a source code and a modified version of the source code. The comparison is performed to determine the functional equivalence between the two source codes. The functional equivalence is determined on the basis of type, scope and linkage of identifiers of the source codes. The identifiers are extracted from the assembly codes of the source codes.
