Automatic Pre-detection of Potential Coding Issues and Recommendation for Resolution Actions

摘要

A tool for automatic pre-detection of potential software product impact according to a statement placed in a software development system, and for automatically recommending for resolutions which accesses a repository of information containing a history of changes and effects of the changes for a software project; using a received a statement in natural language to perform a natural language search of the repository; according to the findings of the search of the repository, using a machine learning model to compose an impact prediction regarding the received statement relative to the findings; and automatically placing an advisory notice regarding to the impact prediction into the software development system, wherein the advisory notice is associated with the received statement.

主权项

1. A method for automatic pre-detection of potential software product impact and recommendation for resolutions, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, by a computer processor, a phrase expressed in natural language containing a description of an unimplemented software project change; extracting, by a computer processor, symbols from the input phrase; searching, by a computer processor, a repository of historical software project changes and associated effects on the extracted symbols, wherein the searched symbols exclude symbols which define effects of changes; receiving, by a computer processor, from the searching, one or more effects attributed to historical software project changes according to the searched symbols; using, by a computer processor, the received effects to predict one or more components of the software project likely to be impacted subsequent to implementation of the unimplemented software project change; and placing, by a computer processor, an advisory notice according to the prediction into a software development tool, wherein the advisory notice is associated with the received phrase.
