System and method for dynamic switching between an old version and a new version of a software code

A method for updating a software code, comprising:

• executing a current version of a software code to perform an automated task on a web application, wherein:
• the web application is configured to provide a graphical user interface to interact with the web application;
• the graphical user interface comprises a text field;
• the current version of the software code is stored in a first memory block of a memory;
• and
• the automated task comprises a set of operations comprising entering text in the text field of the web application;
• receiving a request message to update the current version of the software code to a new version of the software code, wherein the request message comprises an update instruction that is configured to update the current version of the software code to the new version of the software code;
• determining whether the software code is still being executed to perform the automated task on the web application;
• and
• in response to determining that the software code is still being executed to perform the automated task on the web application:
• identifying a first subset of portions of the software code that has not yet been executed;
• executing the update instruction, wherein executing the update instruction causes the first subset of portions of the software code to be updated;
• and
• moving the updated first subset of portions of the software code from the first memory block to a second memory block of the memory, wherein the second memory block is designated for the new version of the software code.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• execute a current version of a software code to perform an automated task on a web application, wherein:
• the web application is configured to provide a graphical user interface to interact with the web application;
• the graphical user interface comprises a text field;
• the current version of the software code is stored in a first memory block of a memory;
• and
• the automated task comprises a set of operations comprising entering text in the text field of the web application;
• receive a request message to update the current version of the software code to a new version of the software code, wherein the request message comprises an update instruction that is configured to update the current version of the software code to the new version of the software code;
• determine whether the software code is still being executed to perform the automated task on the web application;
• and
• in response to determining that the software code is still being executed to perform the automated task on the web application:
• identify a first subset of portions of the software code that has not yet been executed;
• execute the update instruction, wherein executing the update instruction causes the first subset of portions of the software code to be updated;
• and
• move the updated first subset of portions of the software code from the first memory block to a second memory block of the memory, wherein the second memory block is designated for the new version of the software code.
