| 20110041123 | FINE SLICING: GENERATING AN EXECUTABLE BOUNDED SLICE FOR PROGRAM - A method for generating a fine slice for a program is provided. The method comprises receiving a set of slicing criteria, wherein the set of slicing criteria comprises one or more variable occurrences or control dependences; receiving a set of cut points, wherein the set of cut points comprises one or more variable occurrences or control dependences; and generating a slice according to the set of slicing criteria and the set of cut points. The generated slice includes statements related to computation of values for the set of slicing criteria and excludes statements related to computation of values for the set of cut points. Missing information is added to the slice so that the slice is executable. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110055373 | SERVICE IDENTIFICATION FOR RESOURCES IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A method for identifying computational services performed by one or more computing resources is provided. The method comprises analyzing digital data associated with the computing resources to identify similarities between the digital data; grouping sets of digital data into one or more clusters according to similarities identified between the digital data; and generating a description for the one or more clusters to describe at least one computational service associated with a set of digital data grouped in the one or more clusters. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110055803 | PLAN-BASED PROGRAM SLICING - A method for generating a slice from a plan-based representation of a program is provided. The method comprises constructing a plan representation of a program, wherein the plan representation comprises a plurality of nodes, edges, and ports; and receiving one or more slicing criteria from a user. The slicing criteria comprise one or more variable occurrences or statements from the program, according to which a slice is generated from the plan representation. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110107315 | ABSTRACTING BENEFIT RULES FROM COMPUTER CODE - A method that includes: obtaining a computer code usable to process insurance claims; building a computer readable directed graph representing a control flow of the code, by identifying decisions and actions in the code, the graph comprising nodes connected by edges, some of the nodes being decision nodes associated with the decisions and some of the nodes being action nodes associated with the actions; determining, on the graph, benefit action nodes that are each associated with at least one monetary outcome of a specified insurance claim; identifying all logic paths that lead to each benefit action node by traversing the graph from each benefit action node backwards, each logic path comprising a sequence of preceding decision nodes and action nodes connected by edges, each set of paths being associated with a specified benefit action node representing a benefit rule; and outputting all benefit rules by presenting each specified benefit action vis à vis grouped logic paths associated with the specified benefit action. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110271252 | DETERMINING FUNCTIONAL DESIGN/REQUIREMENTS COVERAGE OF A COMPUTER CODE - A method that includes: running a set of functional tests over a computer code; determining, for each code element of the computer code, which functional test covered it, to yield a tests-elements coverage map; associating portions of the computer code with corresponding design portions or requirements derived from a design document or a requirements document respectively, associated with the computer code, to yield a design/requirements-code tracing map; deriving, from the tests-code coverage map and the design/requirements-code tracing map, a design/requirements-tests coverage map, exhibiting coverage of the computer code by the functional tests, in terms of the design or the requirements, wherein at least one of the running, the determining, the associating, and the deriving is executed by at least one processor. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110271253 | ENHANCING FUNCTIONAL TESTS COVERAGE USING TRACEABILITY AND STATIC ANALYSIS - A method that may include: building a dependencies graph representing dependencies between code elements of a computer code; associating portions of the computer code with corresponding design specifications or requirements derived from a design specifications document or a requirements document respectively which is associated with the computer code, to yield a design specifications or requirements-code tracing map; and analyzing the design specifications or requirements-code tracing map based on the dependencies graph to yield an ordered list of design specifications or requirements respectively, wherein the order is selected such that functional tests written for the computer code and addressing design specifications or requirements of a higher order, will yield a higher level of functional test coverage of the computer code in terms of design specifications or requirements. | 11-03-2011 |
