Abstract
Systems and methods for resolving a bug identified in a software application without use of patch release or major release. A bug report is received from a target platform, wherein the bug report stores information associated with the bug identified in the software application. The software application is analyzed to identify a component associated with the bug. A set of rules and a set of actions pertaining to the component are generated, wherein the set of rules are configured to monitor parameters associated to the component, and wherein the set of actions are configured to resolve the bug identified in the component. A new binary snippet corresponding to the component is generated based on the set of rules and the set of actions. The new binary snippet is injected into the application binary code in order to resolve the bug in the software application.
