摘要： Failure tagging may be provided. A plurality of tests may be initiated on a program module and output resulting from the plurality of tests may be received. The output resulting from the plurality of tests may be determined to comprise at least one failure. The at least one failure may comprise an unknown failure or a known failure. Results of the plurality of tests indicating the failure may be transmitted. In addition, a request to stop one or more of a plurality of computers on a failure may be received when one of the plurality of computers encounters the failure. In addition, the program module may be transmitted to the plurality of computers configured to run tests on the program module. The one of the plurality of computers may be stopped on the failure when the one of the plurality of computers encounters the failure identified by the request.

摘要： Computing environments, each executing at least one software program, are monitored for failures occurring during execution of the software program. Information associated with the failure, such as an identification of the software program and a failure type describing the failure, is recorded. The failure information is quantified to report the number of times the software program has failed or the number of times a particular failure has occurred. The quantified data may provide help in prioritizing what program or what failures merit investigation and resolution. Reports may be received from failing computing systems stopped at a state following the occurrence of the failure. In response, hold information is checked to determine whether to instruct the failing computing system to hold a state existing upon the occurrence of the failure.

摘要： A system and method for testing modified code paths without testing unmodified code paths is described. During testing of the baseline build of a program, code coverage data is generated. The code coverage data identifies which test implicates which code path of the baseline build. When a modification of the baseline build is made, the modified build may be differentiated to determine what code of the modified build was changed. When the modified build is differentiated, the code coverage data for the modified code path is mapped to appropriate tests. The tests may then be used to test the changed code path without requiring testing of all the code paths of the modified build.

摘要： Break and optional hold preserves a state of a computing environment on which a software program has failed. Being able to examine the status of the environment existing upon the occurrence of the failure, including the condition of various processes and values facilitates resolution of the cause of the failure. Upon occurrence of a failure during the execution of a first software program in a first computing environment, execution of the first software program breaks. A first state of the first computing environment existing upon the breaking in execution of the first software program is then held. A failure notification is generated to signal the failure to a monitoring system. The monitoring system accesses hold information to determine whether the first computing environment should hold its current state and whether one or more other computing environments interacting with the first computing environment should also hold their states.

摘要： Code coverage data may be provided. An instrumented image may be created comprising a binary executable software module that may be populated with coverage code injected into the binary executable software module. A request for the instrumented image may be received and the instrumented image may be provided based upon the received request. In addition, the code coverage data may be received from the instrumented image. The code coverage data produced by the instrumented image may be executed during a test of the binary executable software module. The coverage code may be configured to produce the code coverage data configured to indicate what code within the binary executable software module was used during the test. The code coverage data may be analyzed and the binary executable software module may be optimized based on the code coverage data.
