Integration of external software analysis processes with software configuration management applications

摘要

A platform is provided for enabling developers to customize easily and efficiently the performance of tasks on versions of a software project. An interface may be established in a software configuration management (SCM) application for communicating with software analysis processes, and information about a manner in which the software analysis process is triggered or stores data may be input as parameters to the interface. Additionally, generic parameters for a task to be performed by the software analysis process may be provided in a template. The template may then be provided to developers to populate with specific parameters regarding the particular task that developer would like performed, such as to identifying information for a version and a condition upon which the task is to be performed. Each developer of a team may make use of the template and the interface to customize the automation of tasks that he/she would like performed.
