Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that utilizes historical changes made to files and methods in computer programming code to predict related files and methods that may be affected by current and/or future changes made to other files and methods. In aspects, when computer code for a particular method is going to be edited, other methods are identified that were changed in previous editing sessions that also included changes to the particular method. Using scoring techniques for the other methods, a recommendation is provided that details the relative strength of whether the other methods are predicted to be affected by any changes made to the computer code for the particular method that is edited.
