  • Patent number: 10235141
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for providing source code suggestion to a user in real-time. A mining module mines source code information, pre-stored in a source code repository, to create a reference model. A code receiving module receives input lines of code from a user, via a User Interface, in real-time. A mapping module maps the one or more parameters with the metadata corresponding to each source code block stored in the reference model. A code suggestion module identifies one or more target source code blocks from the plurality of source code blocks. The code suggestion module suggests at least one target source code block, of the one or more target source code blocks, to be populated in the input lines of code thereby providing the source code suggestion to a user in real-time.

  • Patent number: 9336184
    Abstract: Techniques for representing and publishing an interactive document useful for analyzing data. The document may be represented as a directed acyclic graph of entities interconnected by edges. The entities may be of multiple types. Yet, a broad range of interactive documents may be represented by a limited number of types of entities and the capabilities to interconnect entities of different types and to share a data schema across entities of different types. A tool may enable a user to author such documents. The tool may also facilitate publishing of the document. For publishing, the document may be converted to an executable form. Prior to such a conversion, the graph may be modified for more efficient processing. The graph may also be partitioned such that portions of the graph, when distributed across tiers of a computing system, such as a cloud-based platform, execute on computing devices that provide efficient operation.

  • Patent number: 9038015
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for constructing a complete definition of a backend requirements model that can be automatically accessed and interpreted, and generated into a mobile consumable API for creation of, and use with, mobile applications. The mobile consumable API can be provided and made available to mobile app developers on a separate, stand-alone platform, and may act as an intermediary between the mobile app and the primary mainframe/enterprise/back end system. The method may include identification and definition of one or more of information providers, integration providers, and system behaviors, and creating a domain model. The domain model may be automatically codified into an API based solution as the app/mainframe interface, and stored on a development and operational platform for use.

  • Patent number: 9032360
    Abstract: Selecting a test scenario template for a certain user based on similarity of a profile of template utilization by the certain user to profiles of template utilization by other users involves executing the following: receiving runs of test scenarios, run by a certain user belonging to a certain organization; identifying test scenario templates utilized by the certain user; generating a profile of the certain user based on the test scenario templates; receiving profiles of users belonging to different organizations; comparing between the profile of the certain user and the profiles of the users and identifying at least one profile of a user, from among the profiles of the users, which is similar to the profile of the certain user; and selecting a certain template from among templates indicated as utilized in the at least one profile.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for generating an alert as to a potential regression. In one embodiment, a server computer system receives an instruction from a first location to associate a first changeset with a record, wherein the first changeset has associated metadata, and associates the first changeset with the first record. The server computer system receives an instruction from a second location to modify the first changeset by merging a second changeset with the first changeset and sends an alert to the second location to indicate that merging the changeset may cause a regression.

  • Patent number: 9009649
    Abstract: A code search tool greatly reduces time, cost, and other resource expenditures associated with implementing a new application. The tool is a search, navigation and visualization tool that accepts high-level processing concepts as inputs to identify, rank, and return the code of relevant existing applications. A software developer may use the relevant applications to rapidly build prototypes, identify requirements, and develop new applications. The tool provides an efficient way to improve the reuse of application logic to realize the high-level processing concepts, and more efficiently deliver proof of concept.

  • Patent number: 9009650
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for intelligently and efficiently connecting with people and assets involved in projects. Semantic graphs for different projects or different versions of the same project are generated based on resources (e.g., templates, documents) within these projects or versions of the same project. Each semantic graph builds a relationship among the entities (e.g., development processes) of the particular project in question. The differences between these semantic graphs is illustrated in a single unified semantic graph. The single unified semantic graph highlights the different entities that were used in these projects as well as highlights the different personnel assigned to the same entities in these projects or versions of the same project. In this manner, a user is able to quickly identify the difference processes and personnel involved in the different projects or different versions of the same project.

  • Patent number: 8978021
    Abstract: In developing applications for a plurality of node types, a meta-data definition of the application can be captured into an application definition module. The meta-data definition can describe the application for the plurality of node types. A code generation module can then automatically generate the application code for the plurality of node types, including transaction aware code. The code can be compiled per node type and the packaging necessary to deploy the application to the plurality of node types can also be automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 8972926
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiments herein provide a computer implemented method for verifying code within an integrated development environment. A first data processing system identifies a code dependency within a first artifact located thereon. The code dependency depends on the second artifact located at the separate node of peer-to-peer network. Responsive to identifying the dependency within the first artifact, the first data processing system identifies a second data processing system within a peer-to-peer network that contains the second artifact. The first data processing system requests permission from the second data processing system to access the second artifact. Responsive to receiving permission to access the second artifact, the first data processing system accesses the second artifact on the second data processing system. The first data processing system then verifies a compatibility of the second artifact with the code dependency within the first artifact.
