Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for merging results from multiple runs based on run inputs in a source computing: system, the method comprises: performing a first run on a first input to receive a first result, and wherein, the first run is performed by carrying out a static analysis on the first inputs; performing a second run on a second input to receive a second result and wherein the second run is performed by carrying out a static analysis on the second inputs; aggregating the first result and second result based on a set of rules and a plurality of merge cases or conditions to obtain a final result; wherein the aggregate merge result of a plurality of' runs is a sum of a plurality of individual run results of the plurality of runs, when a set of variables in a plurality of inputs do not overlap with one another, and wherein the aggregate merge result of a plurality of runs is acquired based on a plurality of merge rules, when a set of variables in a plurality of inputs are mutually different; wherein the aggregate merge result is obtained by deleting a line that is not covered in both the first run and the second, run and by covering all other lines, when a line is present and covered in the first run and the same line is deleted in the second run and is not covered in the second run.
