A system and method for improved testing of a software build is provided. The system and method automatically track differences between software builds by scanning the binaries of a software product to automatically discover its classes. The system and method then build a detailed dictionary that captures static and dynamic information of that build, including class dependencies. A comparison may be made with another build, so that the present invention may automatically execute selective tests on any types, and their dependencies, that have had a structural or behavioral modification since the last build. Testers may load a set of constructors for any specific types to further increase coverage of types (or classes) tested. The present invention may also provide detailed reports that may be used to drive future testing work and target specific areas of the code for additional testing. The system and method may further provide code generation from intermediate code to specified targets to aid in reproducing and fixing bugs.

A framework for use with object-oriented programming systems provides a software build system that detects modules that make up a software product, examines each module to determine if it is up-to-date, and automatically updates any modules that require processing. The framework includes a software object of a class called "Product" that comprises a software product to be processed and built. An instance of the Product is comprised of multiple software build objects, each of which is called "Object". Each Object in turn contains four objects that are a kind of object class called BldSrc (Build Source). The BldSrc objects specify a different aspect of the software product and desired processing. Each of the software build objects in a Product's Object list is examined to determine if all four of the BldSrc objects is current. If any one of the software build objects is not current, the Object is re-built. If all four objects are current, the re-building step is skipped. In this way, each of the software build Objects making up a Product is automatically examined and processed, and the Product is produced.

A mechanism for making increased amounts of firmware available to a computer pre-boot is discussed. To increase the amount of firmware available pre-boot, a design decision is made during the build process as to which segments of the firmware need to be placed on the ROM part and which segments of the firmware can be located elsewhere. The segments of the firmware that are stored remotely from the ROM are referred to as “virtual ROM modules”. Each of the virtual ROM modules is assigned a generated unique identifier, and a “message digest” is constructed for each module using an algorithm such as MD5 or SHA-1. In the software build of the ROM image, the message digest-unique identifier pair created for each Virtual ROM module is used as a logical pointer for the virtual module. Additionally, a search path variable is placed into the ROM image in non-volatile storage. The search path provides for one or more locations in which to look for the Virtual ROM modules, and may be updated at a later point in time.

A system for testing a software build is presented. A current software build is compared to a reference software build, typically a known, previous build. The comparison identifies those areas in the current software build that have changed with regard to the reference software build. The identified areas are used by a coverage analysis process to determine a focused test suite to test the modified areas of the current build. The test coverage analysis uses information in a master test suite to determine the focused test suite. The focused test suite is used by a test process to test the modified areas of the current software build. The coverage analysis process may also identify those areas of the current software build that cannot be tested using the tests in the master test suite. A report is generated identifying those areas that are not covered by the focused test suite.

The invention provides a device for converting data types corresponding to functional animations into a form that is amenable to fast renderings of the animation by using of a presentation library. It therefore bridges a gap between the high level flexibility needed to formulate animations with the low level rigid structuring imposed by presentation software that directly interfaces with image rendering and sound presenting hardware. A spite engine interprets a list of sprites which is created and updated by a normalizer software component. The sprite engine must interpret its list at a refresh rate suitable for rendering video images. The normalizer must deal with the functional data types built by the functional animation software and convert those data types into lists of sprites. The two components (sprite engine and normalizer) operate in synchronism in different threads started by the operating system to render smooth animation images but using an intuitive composing system such as the functional animation software. The normalizer may (depending on events that may occur in the animation) replace the sprite list anchored at this point of mutability with another such list as needed. A contiguous subsequence of sprites for an animated object may therefore be introduced, removed, or replaced without the necessity of reconstructing the entire list.

In one embodiment of this invention, a computer system performs a method for validating a software build before check-in. A computer system accesses an existing software build of a software application that includes one or more existing binary files. The computer system accesses one or more updated binary files from a computer user. The computer system overwrites appropriate existing binary files in the existing software build with corresponding updated binary files for the updated binary files package. The overwriting included incorporating the updated binary files into the existing build of the software application without having to generate a new build of the software application. The computer system evaluates the functionality of the updated existing software build, wherein evaluating includes determining whether at least the updated binary files satisfy a threshold level of functionality. The computer system generates a report representing the results of the functionality evaluation.
