Abstract

A library model addition engine adds library models to a library knowledge base by defining a template for a library configuration file that conveys information about each library model, custom inputs and code snippets to facilitate library comparison operations, and education content for the library model, where the library configuration file template may be automatically filled by populating selected data fields in the template with information identifying the library model, scraping documentation pages to extract test cases, and then scraping test case code to extract the test case input parameters for input to an input/output matching engine to evaluate a repository of code snippets and identify a set of functionally similar code snippets for inclusion one or more data fields in the template.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method for adding a library model to a library knowledge base, comprising:

receiving, by a device comprising a processor and a memory, a software program to be submitted as a library model;
generating, by the device, a library configuration file by filling a configuration file template with extracted data to automatically populate a plurality of data fields in the library configuration file with information identifying the library model, where:
(i) one or more of the data fields are filled by (A) scraping a documentation page for the library model to extract test cases, and (B) then scraping each test case to extract a set of custom input test cases for inclusion in the one or more data fields of the library configuration file, and
(ii) generating the library configuration file further comprises extracting the test cases and checking an absolute path name for each extracted test case for a test keyword and checking if one or more specified test library types are used or imported in the test case;
submitting, by the device, the library configuration file to a validator which validates the library configuration file to ensure that the library model is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints;
and
adding the library model to the library knowledge base if the library configuration file is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints.

4 more elements

A non-transitory, computer program product comprising at least one recordable medium having stored thereon executable instructions and data which, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:

receive a software program to be submitted as a library model;
generate a library configuration file by filling a configuration file template with extracted data to automatically populate a plurality of data fields in the library configuration file with information identifying the library model, where:
(i) one or more of the data fields are filled by (A) scraping a documentation page for the library model to extract test cases, and (B) then scraping each test case to extract a set of custom input test cases for inclusion in the one or more data fields of the library configuration file, and
(ii) generate the library configuration file further comprises extracting the test cases and checking an absolute path name for each extracted test case for a test keyword and checking if one or more specified test library types are used or imported in the test case;
submit the library configuration file to a validator which validates the library configuration file to ensure that the library model is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints;
and
add the library model to the library knowledge base if the library configuration file is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
and
a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors to enhance operable functionality of a software program by adding a library model to a library knowledge base, wherein the set of instructions are executable to perform actions of:
receiving a software program to be submitted as a library model;
generating a library configuration file by filling a configuration file template with extracted data to automatically populate a plurality of data fields in the library configuration file with information identifying the library model, where:
(i) one or more of the data fields are filled by (A) scraping a documentation page for the library model to extract test cases, and (B) then scraping each test case to extract a set of custom input test cases for inclusion in the one or more data fields of the library configuration file, and
(ii) generating the library configuration file further comprises extracting the test cases and checking an absolute path name for each extracted test case for a test keyword and checking if one or more specified test library types are used or imported in the test case;
submitting the library configuration file to a validator which validates the library configuration file to ensure that the library model is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints;
and
adding the library model to the library knowledge base if the library configuration file is correctly formatted and satisfies predetermined library model constraints.
