Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products for automating evaluations of code deliveries for software projects. Automated evaluations are generated by selecting software projects and dividing a project into a plurality of code blocks by analyzing the code, build file and build log. Attributes of code blocks are extracted and correlations between code blocks are calculated. Dynamic distance between code blocks is calculated by the correlation and code delivery history, to create a Dynamic General Distance Map and Dynamic User Distance Map for the code blocks. Code delivery distance indicating the code delivery behavior is generated by the Dynamic User Distance Map while the delivery assessment criteria is generated to evaluate code delivery and assess levels of risk associated with delivery of the code. High-level risk indicates that a code delivery may not follow best practices and users are alerted to pay more attention to the code delivery during review.
