Solution Overview

Problem

The back-and-forth process between development and pre-production environments to rectify performance deficiencies in software is tedious and time-consuming, limited by developer knowledge, and consumes system resources.

Innovation Solution

A code performance optimizer framework uses Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to generate code replacements in the pre-production environment, comparing performance with original code to identify and implement optimized code directly in the pre-production environment, minimizing iterations between environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If software is tested and refined through multiple iterations between development and pre-production environments, then performance quality is improved, but time consumption and system resource usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance qualityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary performance testing and code optimization directly in the pre-production environment using AI models before full deployment. This preliminary action identifies and fixes performance issues early, reducing the need for multiple back-and-forth iterations between development and pre-production environments, thereby saving time while maintaining performance quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of developers repeatedly transferring and testing code between environments with an automated AI-driven system. The AI model automatically analyzes performance data, generates optimized code, and implements improvements, substituting the tedious manual iteration process with intelligent automation that achieves the same performance refinement goals more efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual code optimization is performed through multiple environment iterations, then performance issues are resolved, but developer workload and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance optimizationVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service code optimization by deploying an AI model in the pre-production environment that autonomously analyzes performance bottlenecks, generates optimized code alternatives, and implements improvements without requiring continuous developer intervention. The AI model serves itself by automatically iterating through optimization cycles, reducing both developer workload and the perceived complexity of the optimization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an AI model as an intermediary between the pre-production environment and the development environment. This intermediary automatically handles performance analysis and code optimization tasks, acting as a mediator that translates performance issues into optimized code solutions without requiring direct developer involvement in each iteration, thereby simplifying the overall process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If code is frequently transferred between development and pre-production environments for testing, then performance deficiencies are addressed, but network bandwidth and processing resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance validationVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the core performance testing and optimization functionality directly into the pre-production environment by deploying an AI model there. This extraction eliminates the need to frequently transfer code back and forth between environments, as the AI model performs testing and optimization locally in pre-production. Only the final optimized code needs to be transferred to development, significantly reducing network bandwidth consumption and system resource usage while maintaining performance validation effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
