20100005444, Jan 7, 2010

Filed:

Jul 7, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/168851

Inventors:

Scott G. McPeak - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

COVERITY, INC. - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717100

Abstract:

Methods are provided for marking and merging individual report elements, patterns, or defects resulting from analysis based on common characteristics within a report or across reports resulting from different analysis runs. Methods are also provided for migrating a set of report elements, patterns, or defects resulting from one version of an analysis tool to one consistent with a new version of the analysis tool while preserving as much information as possible from the older set.

International Classification:

G06F 11/36

Abstract:

A Remote Test Separation (RTS) system comprising an original software product instrumented for testing and a shared memory accessible to the original software product, the shared memory including a plurality of coverage counters. The RTS system further comprising an agent, capable of accessing the shared memory, the agent to read the plurality of coverage counters, the agent to read the plurality of coverage counters at an end of a test, and write coverage data to another memory. The RTS system runs a plurality of tests without interruption, and generates coverage data associated with a plurality of sequential tests and records the associations between lines of code and an associated test.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

Abstract:

A method to emulate a system represented by one or more of hardware portions and software portions is described. The method comprises determining whether a subset of the one or more hardware portions and software portions have been tested, and identifying whether the system has performed to a specification based on the testing. The method further comprising, when the system has not performed to the specification, determining one or more of the hardware and software portions to update for retesting.

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
G06F 9/44

Abstract:

A method is provided method to evaluate impact of a change in code of a depended upon component of a system stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage device, upon a dependent component of the system, the method comprising: identifying a dependency relationship between a first component stored in a storage device and a second component stored in the storage device; in response to a determination that the second component depends upon the first component, configuring a computer system to obtain a first property evaluation corresponding to the first component; and in response to obtaining the first property evaluation corresponding to the first component, configuring the computer system to associate the first property evaluation with the second component, and determine a second property evaluation corresponding to the second component, is the second component being associated with the first property evaluation.
