  • Development tools for logging and analyzing software bugs
    Patent number: 9898387
    Abstract: Methods of debugging code in a development environment are provided including compiling code in the development environment; receiving an error message for an error encountered in the compiled code; and automatically receiving a plurality of suggested resolutions for the error in the compiled code. The plurality of suggested resolutions are based on past resolutions of errors associated with a plurality of developers stored in a common database. The plurality of suggested resolutions are provided in order of relevancy based on a plurality of relevancy metrics. Related systems and computer program products are provided.

  • Development tools for refactoring computer code
    Patent number: 9658907
    Abstract: Methods of calculating a maintainability index are provided. The methods include, for each function in software code for an existing software product, locating errors related to the function in the software code in a common historical error database; filtering the located errors for the function based on developer experience; calculating a percentage of errors for the function based on the filtered located errors for the function and successful compiles for the function; and providing a maintainability index for the function based on the calculated percentage of errors.
