Insurance software provider Vertafore filed two patent applications for mobile application and remote file management innovations.

Development manager Aleksey Sinyagin and software test engineers Judy Wang and Justin Vinall filed the first patent application. They discovered their invention while working on the release of the Vertafore Producer Advantage mobile app after the company needed a more effective way to test online services within an environment where changes were continually being made to the app.

Sinyagin, Wang and Vinall developed a self-learning, auto-expanding test system for web services integration testing enabling the app to have 1,200 test cases auto-generated every day. The automated system iterates as well as makes high quality changes and test cycle converges on a set of tests. This innovation has the potential to save time and money for mobile application developers in any industry that performs testing to ensure the quality of the products.

Senior software test engineer Raul Alvarez filed the second patent application. Alvarez's invention seeks to save software developers time by using cryptographic technologies to compare files at a rapid pace.

The invention achieves this by reducing the size of the individual file comparisons from hundreds of megabytes to a few dozen bites per file. It also removes the need to physically access the remote file system or download large files from the production server.

"Vertafore's software developers and engineers are leading the way in helping further our position as a technology leader that our customers can rely on to solve all their software challenges," said senior vice president of engineering and operations Theo Beack.

"Innovation has been in our DNA since our founding, and we will continue to recruit the best and the brightest inventors to push meaningful change in the software industry."
