Publication number: 20240069908Abstract: An example device is described for facilitating pull request reviews based on event-trace streams. In various aspects, the device can comprise a processor. In various instances, the device can comprise a non-transitory machine-readable memory that can store machine-readable instructions. In various cases, the processor can execute the machine-readable instructions, which can cause the processor to perform an automated pull request review for a first version of a computing application and a second version of the computing application, based on a first event-trace stream associated with the first version and a second event-trace stream associated with the second version.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Mauricio Coutinho Moraes, Jhonny Marcos Acordi Mertz, Brian Schmitz Tani
