  • Provenance-based reuse of software code
    Patent number: 11474817
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for provenance-based software script reuse. One method comprises extracting provenance data from source code including, for example, source code fragments, wherein the extracted provenance data indicates a control flow and a data flow of the source code; encapsulating source code fragments from the source code that satisfy one or more similarity criteria as a reusable source code fragment; and providing a repository of encapsulated reusable source code fragments for reuse during a development of new software scripts. The repository of encapsulated reusable source code fragments optionally comprises a searchable database further including, for example, the provenance data, data annotations, input parameters and generated results for the corresponding source code fragment.
