| 20100192121 | DEBUGGING REMOTE FILES USING A VIRTUAL PROJECT - A virtual project system is described herein that creates a virtual project to provide information during remote debugging similar to the project information available for local debugging. The virtual project contains each of a document's local and original Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) for documents that are downloaded and compiled locally. At debug-time, the virtual project system injects the virtual project with information resolved by the debugger, including the original URI and the locally compiled version of the document. This allows the virtual project to associate the local to original URI mappings so that when the IDE receives symbol information at debug-time and attempts to open the document that has the current debug context, the IDE opens the correct remote document rather than a local copy. This ensures that any changes made by the user during debugging affect the remote document, rather than the temporary local copy. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20160124721 | BUILD AND COMPILE STATISTICS FOR DISTRIBUTED ENGINEERS - The present technology adds code to a top level build configuration file of a configuration program that will gather metrics for each invocation of a build. These metrics are sent to a commonly accessible metric server for future analysis. The metrics are collected for a distributed engineering team over several machines. Compilation time metrics may then be collected for each compilation event and those metrics are analyzed by a common aggregator. | 05-05-2016 |
