    摘要: A method for determining the number and location of instrumentation probes to be inserted into a program is disclosed. The method advantageously inserts the minimum number of probes that are required to obtain execution coverage for every node in the program's control-flow graph. In addition, the method requires only one bit to store each probe and does not require the assignment of weights to arcs or nodes of the control-flow graph. In the illustrative embodiment, the nodes of a control-flow graph are partitioned into non-empty sets, where each non-empty set corresponds to a super nested block of the program.

    摘要: A mechanism for encoding and reporting instrumented data is disclosed that requires less storage space and incurs less processor overhead than other methods of the prior art. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, a bit vector in shared memory corresponds to nodes of a program's control-flow graph that have been instrumented, and the contents of the vector indicate which of these nodes have executed; in addition, character strings in shared memory indicate what file, class, and method each node belongs to. A process that executes concurrently with those of the program under test transmits instrumented data from the shared memory to a database. The illustrative embodiment enables efficient, rapid reporting and storage of instrumented data, and is therefore especially well-suited for run-time analysis of real-time concurrent systems.

    摘要: A technique is disclosed for determining off-line the number and location of instrumentation probes to be inserted into a program under testing, and subsequently instrumenting the program at run-time based on the off-line analysis. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, an off-line analyzer first determines instrumentation locations for a program under test in accordance with a method called the Super Nested Block Method. After the instrumentation locations have been determined, a testing/monitoring tool executes the program and a run-time instrumenter in parallel. The run-time instrumenter accordingly inserts probes into the program, removes probes after they have been executed once, and generates and reports information about code coverage based on the probes.

    摘要: A method for orchestrating peer authentication during a call (e.g., a telephone call, a conference call between three or more parties, an instant messaging [IM] chat session, etc.) is disclosed. In particular, a user is first authenticated in order to participate in a call (e.g., via entering a password, etc.), and subsequently during the call the user may be peer authenticated. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, a user who participates in a call might be prompted to authenticate another user on the call based on particular events or user behavior during the call.

    摘要: A method for the establishing of connections between software users based on a pattern of use and/or a characteristic of content related to the users and the software. The interaction of a software user with the software is monitored and a characteristic of content related to the user and the software is determined. When the user needs customer support, he or she is routed to a fellow user of the same software who is capable of providing help. The helping user is selected based on the way in which the first user interacts with the software and/or the characteristic of content related to the first user and the software.
