Title: Linking a test case error to a code segment to re-execute the test when the code segment is modified
Inventor: WOULD DANIEL EDWARD
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2012-08-03
Abstract: A test case is executed against a particular build of code. If an error occurs, the code segment that caused the error is identified. The code segment may be identified by analyzing a stack trace associated with the test case error. The identified code segment is then linked to the test case. When the code segment is modified, a criterion is checked to see if the test case should be re-executed. The code may be checked for changes at different time intervals. The test case may only be re-executed if the amount of code changed exceeds a threshold. The threshold may be related to the priority of the test case. The stack trace may be compared to the new version of the code, to see if it has been changed. This may include detecting if functions have been deleted, renamed or moved.

Abstract: A system for detecting and diverting surplus power in a co-generation system to prevent the export of power to the grid network comprises a local power generator or micro-generator 10, a local energy load or store 14 and a connection to the grid network 12. A system manager and load controller 20 scan for excess power returning to the grid by adjusting the power to the load 14 and measuring the change in magnitude of energy flowing through the connection to the grid 12 using a sensor 18. If the change in energy flow through the connection 12 is in the opposite direction as the change in power diverted to the load 14, power to local loads should be increased. Optionally, if the change is in the same direction, power to local loads should be decreased. The need to measure the direction of energy flow in the connection 12 is overcome. A boost function may be provided in the system manager 20 interface to provide maximum power to the load 14 notwithstanding power being imported from or exported to the grid.
