US12105619B2	Regression testing for web applications Training a predict model with network traffic and data change messages generated by an existing web application running in a production environment. The predict model being is trained to predict data changes resulted from API calls embodied in network traffic. A stream of network traffic of the existing web application is replayed with an upgraded version of the existing web application to generate real data changes. The stream of network traffic is applied to the predict model to generate predicted data change messages. The predicted data change messages are comparing with real data change messages representing the real data changes. One or more existing APIs is identified as being possibly functionally degraded based on any inconsistency of the predicted data change messages with the real data change messages.
US12105613B2	Performance scale testing with I/O reuse A host performs benchmark I/O operations for a storage system by an application on the host formulating a performance test command, providing the performance test command to a channel subsystem layer of the host that actuates communication hardware that provides signals to the storage system, and performing a plurality of benchmark I/O operations at the channel subsystem layer in response to a single performance test command by actuating the communication hardware that provides signals to the storage system. The single performance test command may result in actuating the communication hardware to read and write data at a plurality of addresses of the storage system. The channel subsystem layer may perform the plurality of benchmark I/O operations without receiving any additional data or commands from any applications on the host. A dispatch program that runs on the channel subsystem layer may receive operational data and may actuate the communication hardware.
US12105607B2	Data recovery validation test Techniques are described for a data recovery validation test. In examples, a processor receives a command to be included in the validation test that is configured to validate performance of an activity by a server prior to a failure to perform the activity by the server. The processor stores the validation test including the command on a memory device, and prior to the failure of the activity by the server, executes the validation test including the command responsive to an input. The processor receives results of the validation test corresponding to the command and indicating whether the server performed the activity in accordance with a standard for the activity during the validation test. The processor provides the results of the validation test in a user interface.
US12105605B2	Data replication control for high available system A method for redundancy loss recovery. The method may include creating pairs of quorum sets, wherein each pair of the pairs of quorum sets comprises at least two volumes and a quorum, and each of at least two volumes and quorum are located at different storage devices; for a failure occurring in a storage device associated with the pairs of quorum sets or in a network communication between storage devices of the pairs of quorum sets, modifying volume attributes associated with volumes of the pairs of quorum sets; and for the failure occurring in a storage device associated with the pairs of quorum sets, relocating quorum associated with the failed storage device to another storage device that is different from storage devices associated with the pairs of quorum sets.
US12105604B1	Method and system for data protection and data availability A method for managing data availability includes making a first determination by a first security module (FSM) that a first storage area network (SAN) infrastructure in a first data center has experienced a failure. The method also includes generating a secure string based on a first configuration parameter. Further, the method includes appending the secure string to a SAN failure notification to generate a secure string-appended request. In addition, the method includes sending the secure string-appended request to a second data center, wherein the second data center is selected based on a second configuration parameter. Moreover, the method includes making a second determination that the encrypted secure string-appended request is valid. Further, the method includes offloading processing of requests sent to the first data center using the second data center.
