Abstract

See full text

A routine for tagging and tracking source code may be implemented in a software development environment. The routine begins upon the identification of a defect in a software product or system. Once the defect has been identified and rectified, a search of other source code (typically located in a source code management system that supports version control) is specified. Using the search specification, the system automatically identifies the code snippet to be searched and begins searching the identified codebase for duplicates. A ticket or service record is then created for every duplicate/similar code snippet found during the search. The ticket/record enables software defect tracking to be carried out on the newly-located instances of the code. The system also automatically manages the code snippets identified by the duplicate detection.
