SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING RISKS PRESENT IN A SOFTWARE PROGRAM CODE

摘要

The various embodiments herein provide a system and method for analyzing and assessing multiple risk factors to enhance the quality of source code during software development. The method comprises the steps of: identifying and analyzing multiple risk factors such as but not limited to identifying impact of removed or optimized cases on a source code; evaluating multiple risks and defining one or more test cases; and categorizing risk profiles for a series of test case. The risk profile is determined based on the ranking of the defect density, complexity of the code and change rate. The method for prioritizing the test cases based on the risks is provided. The method evaluates the test case scenario depending on the risk posed by the new source code. The method prioritizes which scripts need to be executed for a necessary and sufficient condition. Further, the scripts are determined by the correlation between the files, activities on those files, defects fixed by those files and test cases used to test those defects.
