A computer readable storage medium, system and method for improving automated testing systems to include a first and second behavioral data. The first behavioral data is collected periodically and the second behavioral data is collected in real time. The receipt of the first behavioral data and a second behavioral data are followed by the receipt of a system configuration template. A test case is updated based on the first and second behavioral data, and an automated test environment is reconfigured based on the first behavioral data, second behavioral data, and the system configuration template. The test executes in the automated test environment producing a test result.

A repository of graph based visual programming language code instances is analyzed. A similar code portion pattern duplicated is detected among a group of graph based visual programming language code instances included in the repository of graph based visual programming language code instances including by using an index and tokenizing one or more graph nodes connected by one or more graph edges included in a flow corresponding to at least one graph based visual programming language code instance in the group of graph based visual programming language code instances. Within a visual representation of at least one of the group of graph based visual programming language code instances, elements belonging to the detected similar code portion pattern are visually indicated.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically generating an application programming language (API) specification for an API. An embodiment operates by receiving an identification an API and a specification format for the identified API. The embodiment receives, via an API gateway, an API request that includes a first set of attributes for the API. The embodiment then receives an API response that includes a second set of attributes in response to the API request. The embodiment further determines whether the API request is valid based on at least one of the API request and the API response. In response to the API request being valid, the embodiment generates an API specification for the API using the specification format. The API specification includes a third set of attributes generated based on the first and second sets of attributes.

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, an updated version of a computer program that includes several source code changes. A compiler preprocesses the source code changes for a target computing platform. The preprocessing includes identifying a compile time condition associated with one or more computer instructions enclosed by a macro, determining a current value of the compile time condition at the time of compiling, and determining corresponding object code based on the current value. Further, a macro information record for the macro is generated that includes the compile time condition, the current value, and an identification of the computer instructions. Further, a linker preprocesses the source code changes. This preprocessing includes determining that the object code is not included in an executable file, and updating the macro information record to indicate that the macro is not included in the executable file.

In various embodiments, a process for detecting duplicated code patterns in visual programming language code instances includes analyzing a repository of graph based visual programming language code instances and detecting a similar code portion pattern duplicated among a group of graph based visual programming language code instances included in the repository of graph based visual programming language code instances including by using an index and tokenizing a flow corresponding to at least one graph based visual programming language code instance in the group of graph based visual programming language code instance. The process includes visually indicating elements belonging to the detected similar code portion pattern within a visual representation of at least one of the group of graph based visual programming language code instances.

A document to be stored on a network-based storage system is identified. The document includes one or more macros in a first programming language. An object referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros is identified. The function is converted into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language. Each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object. At least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro. The document including the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language is stored on the network-based storage system.

An obfuscation macro can expand obfuscation identification information into a data value during or prior to compiling source code, and insert a de-obfuscation call where the data value is referenced in the source code. An obfuscation utility can scan compiled binaries for data values containing obfuscation identification information. The obfuscation utility identifies and obfuscates data values containing obfuscation identification information within the compiled binaries. The de-obfuscation call de-obfuscates obfuscated data values during runtime.

A computer-implemented method generates program code of an executable control program for controlling a control system. Functionality of the control program is described at least in part in a graphical model. The graphical model is translated into program code in a text-based programming language. The method includes: generating a first placeholder representing a variable, the first placeholder being used in a predetermined segment of the program code; generating a second placeholder, which is placed before a beginning of the predetermined segment of the program code that uses the first placeholder; and generating a third placeholder, which is placed after an end of the predetermined segment of the program code that uses the first placeholder.
