  • Making a prediction regarding development of a software product
    Patent number: 10733520
    Abstract: An automated method of making a prediction regarding development of a software product includes receiving code changes information, build information, and failure information related to the software product. Entries are stored in a database, wherein each entry links a subset of the code changes information with a subset of the build information and with a subset of the failure information. A first matrix and a second matrix are generated using the entries in the database. Multi-target entropy calculations are performed based on the first matrix and the second matrix. The prediction regarding the development of the software product is performed based on the multi-target entropy calculations.
