Locating isolation points in an application under multi-tenant environment

Abstract

An apparatus for locating isolation points in an application under multi-tenant environment includes a scanning module configured to scan the application, by using scanning rules, to obtain potential isolation points and relationships between the potential isolation points; a specifying module configured to specify at least one isolation point among the potential isolation points; and an isolation point screening module configured to screen an isolation point from the potential isolation points by using relationships between the specified at least one isolation point and the remaining potential isolation points.

1 . An apparatus for locating isolation points in an application under multi-tenant environment, comprising:
 a scanning module configured to scan the application, by using scanning rules, to obtain potential isolation points and relationships between the potential isolation points;   a specifying module configured to specify at least one isolation point among the potential isolation points; and   an isolation point screening module configured to screen an isolation point from the potential isolation points by using relationships between the specified at least one isolation point and the remaining potential isolation points.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the relationships between the potential isolation points comprise at least one of an assignment relationship and a membership relationship. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the isolation point screening module is further configured to determine a potential isolation point as an isolation point if the specified at least one isolation point is assigned to the potential isolation point. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the isolation point screening module is further configured to determine a potential isolation point as an isolation point if the specified at least one isolation point contains the potential isolation point. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the specifying module is further configured to specify at least one shared point among the potential isolation points. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a shared point filtering module configured to filter out a shared point among the potential isolation points by using relationships between the specified at least one shared point and the remaining potential isolation points.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the shared point filtering module is further configured to determine a potential isolation point as the shared point if the potential isolation point is assigned to the specified at least one shared point. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the shared point filtering module is further configured to determine a potential isolation point as the shared point if the potential isolation point contains the specified at least one shared point. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising a conflict reporting module configured to detect whether or not the shared point exists among the screened isolation points; and report the existence of a conflicting isolation point in response to the detection result being yes. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an isolation point recommending module configured to recommend to a user a high-probability isolation point among the remaining potential isolation points by calculating correlation degrees of the remaining potential isolation points with the screened isolation points.
