In an earlier TechExchange sample from November 2017 titled "Strategy for Handling Unresolved Intent Resolutions So Users Remain Unstuck" we demonstrated a technique to display a list of intents that got resolved with more than 0% confidence in cases where intent resolution did not succeed passing the confidence threshold set on the System.Intent component. With the current version of Oracle Intelligent Bots there exists another option to handle the very same use case. In...

Every time a change is introduced in the design or implementation of an API, it would be nice to have tests and builds run automatically. Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice that allows builds and tests to be triggered every time new code is pushed to the repository. There are may tools that could be...

Current production virtual machines (VMs) provide high performance execution of programs only for a specific language or a very small set of languages. Compilation, memory management, and tooling are maintained separately for different languages, violating the ‘don’t repeat yourself’ (DRY) principle. This leads not only to a larger burden for the VM implementers, but also for developers due to inconsistent performance characteristics, tooling, and configuration. Furthermore,...

This is often driven by the fact that multiple divisions within the same organization have their own requirement to run their day-to-day operations.
