A method, computer program product, and system is described. A continuous integration environment is identified. A first software test associated with the continuous integration environment is identified. A probationary status for the first software test is determined, the probationary status indicating, at least in part, a potential lack of reliability for the first software test.

Probationary software tests

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and system is provided for determining test coverage. In an implementation, a method may include identifying at least one change in source code. The method may also include instrumenting object code of at least one class file associated with a source file of the source code associated with the identified at least one change. The method may further include testing the instrumented object code with at least one test case. The method may further include generating a coverage report associated with the instrumented object code, wherein the coverage report includes a proportion of the at least one change in the source code covered by the at least one test case.

System and method for determining test coverage

An invention for generating an alternative representation of virtual content in a virtual universe is provided. In one embodiment, there is an alternative representation tool, including a visual component configured to determine a visual capacity of a user of a virtual universe. The alternative representation tool further includes an alternative component configured to provide an alternative representation of a virtual content renderable in the virtual universe based on the visual capacity of the user of the virtual universe.

A first changeset that identifies a change to a first software product development file is generated. An expiry condition to assign to the first changeset is received. Responsive to determining that the expiry condition assigned to the first changeset is met, whether any subsequent changesets identify another change that depends on the change to the first software product development file identified in the first changeset is determined. Responsive to determining that no subsequent changesets identify another change that depends on the change to the first software product development file identified in the first changeset, the change identified in the first changeset, such that the first software product development file does not include the change identified in the first changeset is automatically reversed.

A method for providing for standardization of variable names in an integrated development environment is provided. The method includes scanning a project source code for variable names, where the project source code is managed by a development team in an integrated development environment. The method includes determining that the project source code contains a non-standard variable name, where the distinction between a standard variable name and the non-standard variable name is defined by a set of standards and semantic rules. The method then includes identifying a location of the non-standard variable name in the project source code.

Standardization of variable names in an integrated development environment

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to virtual world navigation and provide a method, system and computer program product for applying temporal rankings to elements in a virtual world. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for temporally ranking locations in a virtual world can be provided. The method can include timing a duration of visit for different locations in a virtual world, computing a temporal score for the different locations, and displaying a ranking of the locations by temporal score. For instance, computing a temporal score for the different locations can include computing a sum of durations for each of the different locations, or computing an average of durations for each of the different locations, to name two examples. Optionally, computing a temporal score for the different locations also can include filtering the durations according to a date or time range.
