An example computing platform is configured to identify a subset of source code files for a modular software application that have changed. The computing platform further creates a dynamic test plan comprising a targeted subset of available software tests by (i) obtaining a dependency map that identifies various dependency relationships between the software application's modules, (ii) based on the dependency map, generating an impact map that identifies various impact relationships between the software application's modules, (iii) based on the impact map, generate a test map that identifies various tests that correspond to the software application's modules, and (iv) select the targeted subset of available software tests based on the test map and the identified subset of source code files. Finally, the computing platform executes the dynamic test plan comprising the targeted subset of available tests.
A method for intelligent pull planning involves determining an update to a master schedule for a construction project that comprises a plurality of tasks, each task comprising a scheduled start date; executing a machine learning model trained using historical construction project schedule data and thereby identifying candidate tasks that may be commenced earlier than scheduled; displaying, at a client station, each identified candidate task, its scheduled start date, a proposed new start date, and an impact on the master schedule if the task is commenced on the proposed new start date; receiving user input indicating a selection of a given task that is to be commenced earlier than its scheduled start date; and transmitting a notification to a party responsible for completing the given task, the notification indicating that the given task has been nominated for earlier commencement and requesting approval for the earlier commencement.

A computing device is configured to obtain gridline information for a three-dimensional drawing file and generate a two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional drawing file that includes (1) at least one gridline corresponding to the obtained gridline information, (2) at least one intersection between two meshes, and (3) initial dimensioning information involving (a) the at least one gridline and (b) at least one of the two meshes. Based on a user request to adjust a perspective of the two-dimensional view, the computing device adjusts the perspective of the two-dimensional view and thereby generates an updated two-dimensional view that includes updated dimensioning information corresponding to one or more meshes displayed in the updated two-dimensional view.
A computing system is configured to determine an update to a master schedule for a construction project that comprises a plurality of tasks, each task comprising a respective scheduled start date; execute a machine learning model that has been trained with historical construction project schedule data and thereby identify one or more tasks that is each a candidate for commencement earlier than its scheduled start date; cause a client station to display each identified task, its scheduled start date, a respective new start date, and an impact on the master schedule if the task is commenced on the respective new start date; receive user input indicating a selection of a given task that is to be commenced earlier than its scheduled start date; and cause a notification to be transmitted to a party responsible for completing the given task indicating that the given task has been nominated for earlier commencement and requests approval for earlier commencement.

Computer system and method for documenting items identified while at a construction site
In order to improve a user's task of documenting items that are identified by the user while at a construction site, a computing system may be configured to (i) receive, from a first client station associated with a first user, media content that is descriptive of a given on-site item of a construction site, (ii) apply a speech recognition technique to transcribe audio data included in the media content into text that is descriptive of the given on-site item, (iii) generate a data record for the given on-site item, (iv) pre-populate at least a portion of the transcribed text into one or more fields of the data record for the given on-site item, and (v) cause a second client station to display the data record to a second user for review.
A computing platform is configured to: (i) receive, from a first client station, a data file; (ii) obtain metadata associated with the data file; (iii) determine, based on at least a first set of metadata from the obtained metadata associated with the data file, a naming structure to use for the data file; (iv) generate, based on the determined naming structure and at least a second set of metadata from the obtained metadata, a proposed name for the data file; and (v) transmit, to a second client station, a communication identifying the proposed name and thereby cause an indication of the proposed name for the data file to be presented at a user interface of the second client station.
