  • Patent number: 8856725
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing an automated reputation system for source code and software development personnel. Code quality metrics regarding code changes associated with a code artifact are automatically generated in response to development lifecycle events in a development environment. The code quality metrics are collected and utilized by a reputation engine to compute a code reputation score for the code artifact. The reputation engine may further utilize the collected code quality metrics to compute personnel reputation scores for one or more development personnel related to the code changes, such as developers, reviewers, testers, and the like. In addition, ratings regarding the code artifact may be received from development personnel in the development environment, and these ratings may be further considered in the computation of the code reputation score for the code artifact and the personnel reputation scores of the related development personnel.
