A software package manager uses a distribution unit containing components for a software package and a manifest file that describes the distribution unit to manage the installation, execution, and uninstallation of software packages on a computer. Information in the manifest file pertaining to a software package is stored in a code store data structure upon installation of the package. The manifest file also contains information that permits the software package manager to resolve any software dependencies upon installation. The software package manager uses the code store data structure to locate the required components when the software is executed and to remove the components appropriately when the software is uninstalled.

A device for automatically downloading an application package is provided. The application package that is downloaded contains a dependency manager, a configuration file and other application files.

An approach is provided for managing a deployment of a software package. A retrieved quality assurance (QA) seal corresponding to a software package is verified. A target deployment environment (TDE) is obtained. The QA seal is read to obtain first and second profiles, and metadata, which specify a deployment environment, hardware and software dependencies required in the deployment, and an approval for a release of the software package to the specified deployment environment, respectively. Based on a determination that the TDE matches the specified deployment environment, the QA seal indicates the software package is compatible with the TDE. The dependencies are determined to be satisfied. Based on the software package being compatible with the TDE, the dependencies being satisfied, and the specified approval for the release of the software package, a notification of an authorization of the deployment of the software package to the TDE is generated.

A system and method is disclosed for orderly distribution of software modules to various hosts in a cable system. A download manager ensures distribution of required and compatible software objects to various hosts in a cable system.

A signaling system of the present invention provides a synchronized approach to delivering, reporting, and/or otherwise processing status changes in a software dependency chain. In a first phase, the signaling system identifies all dependencies between software components, and further sets a binary indicator of each node in a first representation. After identifying any changes in a source node, the system (e.g., a value is updated), the system updates each binary indicator to a second setting. In a second phase, the system initiates all listeners in the dependency chain in an essentially progressive order from source node, to intermediate node, and end-node, etc. Once all listeners have had a chance to perform one or more processes based on the updated value, the system can discard the dependency graph, allowing a new dependency graph to be built for subsequent value changes.

A solution for managing software dependencies during software testing and debugging includes a capture module configured to capture a software call stack of a software execution environment, each software call of the software call stack including a call signature and a call result. The solution defines a set of proxied software calls within the software call stack suitable for simulating conversation responses to runtime software calls by a target application. Once a set of proxied software calls is defined, a playback module recognizes runtime software calls by the target application that are within the set of proxied software calls and responds to the recognized runtime software call with a captured call result corresponding to the recognized software call.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a shading engine enables multiple versions of dependencies to coexist in an executable software application. During the software build process, the shading engine dynamically renames transitive dependencies of the software application to disambiguated names. The shading engine performs this renaming at both the library and class level. Notably, the shading engine does not rename the first-order dependencies of the software application. Consequently, the code of the software application and interfaces between the software application and the first-order library dependencies of the software application are not modified. Notably, the shading engine efficiently and accurately shades the transitive dependencies without manual intervention. By contrast, primarily manually-based conventional approaches to dependency management are time consuming and susceptible to errors.

The test vectors generally have another format that is independent of (a) the hardware dependencies of the processors and (b) the software dependencies of the operating systems executed by the processors. The processors may be configured to generate a plurality of test results by exercising the software modules with the modified test vectors.
