An analysis engine may further analyze and process these databases to create application-specific views and module-specific views into the data. The application-specific views may be intended for a developer of the application, while the module-specific views may have a public version accessible to everybody and a module developer version that may contain additional details that may be useful to the module developer. | 2015-03-05 |
| 20150067655 | Dynamic Debugging Method of a Software Module and Corresponding Device - When a module is loaded by the operating system kernel, dynamic information of the module, such as the memory addresses of the different sections of the module allocated by the operating system, is stored in a known variable, which is subsequently accessible by the debugging tool. Furthermore, an interrupt instruction that will allow the debugger to interrupt the running of the operating system following the complete loading of the module is inserted into the debugging tool in such a way as to retrieve the dynamic information necessary for the debugging of the module. | 2015-03-05 |
| 20150067656 | Methods and Systems for Testing Interactions Between Mobile Applications - A shared platform included in a device can be configured to execute instructions from a first application and a second application to operate the device. The shared platform can be configured to receive mode instructions from the first application indicative of operating in a test mode where the shared platform provides simulated responses to the first application. The shared platform can receive a request from the first application pertaining to an operation of the second application. The shared platform operating in the test mode can determine a response to the request from the first application based on a simulation of providing the request to the second application. | 2015-03-05 |
