The system generates mock server-side code based on the request and the return data.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing retrieval of content for display in a table by a browser. When large tables of data are displayed by browsers, not all the data can be viewed at once. To improve performance, only the data in the visible portion of table may be downloaded when the user first accesses the page. The table may be divided into tiles such that each tile comprises multiple table cells, each tile to be treated as a separate component to be independent loaded and rendered. When a user accesses the page, the relevant data for the initially displayed tile(s) is downloaded from the server, stored in the browser's document object model (DOM), and rendered for display. As the user scrolls, additional data not yet stored in the DOM is downloaded, cached in the DOM and rendered.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for code repository intrusion detection. A code developer profile can be generated based on characteristic features present in code composed by the developer. Characteristic features can be related to the coding propensities peculiar to individual developers and, over sufficient numbers of characteristic features, can be considered pseudo-signatures. A target code set is analyzed in view of one or more developer profiles to generate a validation score related to a likelihood of a particular developer composing a portion of the target code set. This can serve to confirm or refute a claim of authorship, or can serve to identify likely author candidates from a set of developers. Where the target code set authorship is determined to be sufficiently suspect, the code set can be subjected to further scrutiny to thwart intrusion into the code repository.
