Abstract: A method for intelligently reporting errors is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an error and determining whether the error belongs to an error group. Such an error group may include errors that together are an indicator of a potentially more serious error or condition. The method may further determine whether all errors in the error group have occurred within a specified time period. If all errors in the error group have occurred within the specified time period, the method automatically sends a notification to an administrator or other hardware or software-based system so that the problem or error can be addressed. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for managing defects in an integrated development environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes identifying one or more files associated with a defect. These one or more files may then be linked to the defect using a tag or other suitable linking mechanism. Once the files are linked to the defect, the method may allow the defect to be selected from a defect list. The files associated with the defect are optionally displayed upon selecting the defect. The method further enables an action to be selected for one or more of the files associated with the defect in the defect list. The method then automatically performs the action on the one or more files. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
