| 20090138807 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING QUEUE EXPERIENCE IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT - A method improving a customers experience in a queue located in a three-dimensional virtual environment is provided. The method includes the creation of computer controlled pseudo avatars that are added and removed from queues to create the perception that the queues are moving. A conversational avatar is further provided to engage the customer avatars in conversation. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090248709 | Evaluating Associations Among Entities - A method for monitoring associations between a plurality of entities comprises representing a relationship between a first entity and a second entity as an edge that connects a first node to a second node, wherein the first node and the second node respectively represent said first entity and said second entity; and assigning a weight value to said edge based on an association level detected between the first entity and the second entity. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090248852 | Evaluating Entities Associations with their Respective Environments - A method comprising representing an association between a first entity and a first environment as a first edge that connects a first node to a second node, wherein the first node and the second node respectively represent said first entity and said first environment; and assigning a first weight value or type to the first edge based on an association level detected between the first entity and the first environment. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090271770 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR GENERATING UNIT TESTING SCRIPTS - A method, system, and computer program product are provided for generating unit testing scripts. The method includes receiving programming code having a condition expressed therein, and transforming the code by wrapping the condition into a mock function. The mock function receives a Boolean argument as an input and provides a Boolean value as an output irrespective of a pre-transformed input and a pre-transformed output of the condition. The Boolean value is capable of selectively being the Boolean argument received as the input or a different value specified by a user. The method further includes receiving a user input specifying a behavior relating to how a return value is generated for the mock function. The Boolean value is provided in accordance with the specified behavior. At least one pre-transformation output of the condition prior to the transforming step is direct-function independent. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090319833 | Software Quality Assessment based on Semantic Similarities - A method for software processing includes accepting quality information, which includes names of elements of software code and respective quality indications regarding tested acceptability of the elements. The names are processed to extract a list of substrings that occur in the names. Respective metrics are assigned to the substrings responsively to the quality indications of the elements in whose names the substrings occur. At least some of the substrings are presented to a user in accordance with the assigned metrics. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100017653 | REFERENCE STATE INFORMATION GENERATION - A method for generating reference state information, the method includes: comparing between at least one sequence of block identifiers that are accessed during a test period and at least one corresponding reference sequence of block identifiers to provide a comparison result; determining whether to generate reference state information in response to the comparison result; and generating reference state information if determining to generate the reference state information. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100094990 | Platform-level Indicators of Application Performance - A method for monitoring performance includes monitoring packet traffic on at least one socket that is associated with an application running on a computer and is communicated over a data network. First and second instances of a performance indicator of the packet traffic are measured respectively during first and second monitoring intervals. An alert is issued upon making a determination that a change between the first instance and the second instance exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100262866 | CROSS-CONCERN CODE COVERAGE ASSESSMENT - A method for software processing includes extracting from software code under test respective items of meta-information pertaining to elements of the software code and receiving respective quality data regarding the elements of software code. The quality data and meta-information are processed in a computer so as to assign respective metrics to the items of the meta-information responsively to the quality data regarding the elements of the software code to which the items pertain. At least some of the meta-information is presented to a user in accordance with the assigned metrics. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110138127 | AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF STRESS CONDITION - A stress of a computerized system may be detected based on actions performed by the computerized system in respect to a storage system, such as comprising a secondary storage. The stress detection may be performed automatically based on an age of data blocks accessed by the storage system. The stress may take into account a number of accesses to the storage system by the computerized system. Stress detection may be performed automatically based on a decision procedure. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110145508 | AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF READ-AHEAD AMOUNT - Read-ahead of data blocks in a storage system is performed based on a policy. The policy is stochastically selected from a plurality of policies in respect to probabilities. The probabilities are calculated based on past performances, also referred to as rewards. Policies which induce better performance may be given precedence over other policies. However, the other policies may be also utilized to reevaluate them. A balance between exploration of different policies and exploitation of previously discovered good policies may be achieved. | 06-16-2011 |
