Information concerning software bugs including bug detection, bug prediction data and/or historical bug data can be used to determine whether it is safe to commit, integrate, deploy and/or deliver a software change. If the change is deemed unsafe, the change can be rejected automatically. Alternatively, the change can proceed following approval by an administrator, supervisor, implementer, manager and/or other designated approval mechanism. Actions taken to override a block can be recorded along with information concerning failed deployments and/or deliveries, a higher than normal customer failure rate after deployment and/or delivery or through manual data entry.
