  • Publication number: 20230409308
    Abstract: An approach for recommending an application of a software code update. The approach receives components of an executable program. The approach scans the components to divide the executable program into units. The approach creates a logical layer of entry lists, based on the units, for instantiations of the executable program. The approach loads the instantiations of the executable program based on the logical layers. The approach monitors the execution of the instantiations to increment counters based on executions of the units. The approach creates a heatmap of the executions based on the counters. The approach generates a recommendation to update the executable based on the heatmap.
