  • Patent number: 10990594
    Abstract: Database techniques are provided that use state machines to manage polyglot subroutine bindings for database commands. In an embodiment, a computer receives a database command that contains call sites (CSs). Each CS is associated with a user defined logic (UDL). The computer associates an initial operational state with each of the CSs. During a first invocation of a particular CS, the CS becomes initialized and transitions to an optimized state that is configured for streamlined invocation of the UDL. The UDL is invoked to contribute data to a partial result for the database command. Eventually, command execution stalls and causes the CS to transition to an unready state, which entails releasing shared resources. Later execution resumes and during another invocation of the CS, resources are reacquired, the CS is made ready and transitioned back to the optimized state. The CS may again be repeatedly invoked while revisiting the optimized state.

  • Patent number: 9710364
    Abstract: Identifying false test alarms to a developer. A code build is executed in a test system that includes computing functionality and computing infrastructure that is able to execute the build. Executing the code build includes running a plurality of system and integration tests on the code build. As a result of executing the code build, a system and integration test failure is identified. One or more characteristics of the system and integration test failure are identified. The characteristics of the system and integration test failure are compared to characteristics of a set of historical previous known false test alarms. False test alarms are failures caused by a factor other than a factor for which a test is being run. Based on the act of comparing, information is provided to a developer with respect to if the system and integration test failure is potentially a false test alarm.

  • Patent number: 9632921
    Abstract: The automated validation of one or more test cases in a validation pass. The validation pass is enabled using a plurality of scenario runners, which are executable components that respond to instructions to run one or more scenarios of a validation pass by beginning to run through such scenarios during the validation pass. The validation pass may be associated with a maximum time such that upper limits on how long the scenario runners may run is set. This likewise limits the time it takes to validate the results of the scenario. The scenario runners provide events that occur during the running of their respective scenarios into an event collector. The events of the validation pass may then be evaluated against one or more test cases to determine whether or not the events have a state indicative of a success or failure of each test cases.

  • Patent number: 9507914
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium containing instructions for processing image data. One system includes at least one processor configured to generate a graphical user interface (“GUI”). Through the GUI, the at least one processor receives a matching condition and a morphing action from a user. The morphing action includes an action to perform on a data attribute associated with image data when the image data satisfies the matching condition. Based on the received matching condition and morphing action, the at least one processor creates executable code. The at least one processor also receives image data including an image data attribute and executes the executable code to determine if the received image data satisfies the matching condition. If the image data satisfies the matching condition, the at least one processor automatically performs the morphing action on the received image data attribute.

  • Patent number: 9460230
    Abstract: A method and system for the dynamic extension (e.g. subclassing) of objects to enable visual styling of on-screen elements is disclosed herein. The present invention allows designers and developers alike to conceive, implement, and modify native mobile interfaces effortlessly and in real time through a familiar CSS-based syntax. The technique of dynamic subclassing for the purpose of styling greatly simplifies the development process by no longer requiring the developer to directly configure visual element's properties or to subclass objects in code.

  • Patent number: 9395954
    Abstract: A system and method for performing functional decomposition of a software design to generate a computer-executable FSM and a graphical representation of the design in a decomposition diagram stored in a program database with source code, test code, and other program data. The method includes searching for pre-existing software modules that meet program design requirements. Modules needing work are displayed on Gantt or PERT charts as tasks, and may be annotated with start dates, and completion dates. Percent complete of the design is automatically generated and updated, and may be displayed on the charts. The decomposition is automatically used to introduce error detection states into the FSM for recognizing invalid states and saving checkpoints, and for recognizing and repairing both race conditions and deadlock conditions in the design.

  • Patent number: 9324044
    Abstract: A method (1500) for generating a Generalized Missing Rule (GMR). The method involves receiving descriptions of First Scopes (FSs) that are admissible for a First Rule Project (FRP). FRP comprises first rules. Each FS is defined by at least one object characterizing a case. An Expanded Set of Scope Descriptions (ESSD) is generated by adding descriptions of Second Scopes (SSs) covered by FRP to the descriptions of FSs. An Implicit Description (ID) of FSs and SSs is produced. An Incomplete Most-General Scope (IMGS) is identified from FSs and SSs using ID. IMGS is a scope which is defined by a minimal set of objects, is admissible for FRP and covers at least one case which is not treated by a Second Rule Project (SRP). A Missing Case (MC) of IMGS is identified. MC is not treated by FRP. GMR is generated using MC and IMGS.
