System and method for guiding a user in a software development lifecycle using machine learning

A method for guiding a user of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor,
• real-time contextual information from a user device, wherein the real-time contextual information is associated with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) enabled over the user device, wherein the real-time contextual information is determined based on at least one of a software development language, type of Integrated Development Environment (IDE), software defects and user profile data, and
• the user profile data, from a profile database, associated with a current user of the user device, wherein the user profile data comprises a set of historical solutions associated with the current user;
• determining, by the processor, a current issue faced by the current user of the user device based on the real-time contextual information, and whether the current issue has been previously faced by the current user;
• prioritizing the current issue to be addressed, when multiple current issues are simultaneously faced by the current user, wherein the current issue, of the multiple issues, is prioritize based on a weighted score, wherein the weighted score is computed based on a formulation comprising WS=Σi=1i=N LWSi, wherein LWS=LC*(TLC/TLF), and wherein ‘LC’ indicates Unique occurrence of all words in a label for a single artifact, ‘TLC’ indicates Unique occurrence of all words in a label in all artifacts, ‘TLF’ indicates Total occurrence of all the words in a label in all artifacts, and wherein an artifact is a document comprising description of each issue faced by the current user;
• enforcing, by the processor, a historical solution when the historical solution is present in the set of historical solutions, wherein the presence of the historical solution in the set of historical solutions ensures that the current issue has been previously faced by the current user;
• extracting, by the processor, one or more new solutions associated with the current issue from one or more secondary data sources, when the current issue is not associated with a set of historical issues;
• and
• suggesting, by the processor, the one or more new solutions to the current user, when the current issue is not associated with the set of historical issues, thereby guiding the current user of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to address the current issue.

A computer program product having embodied thereon a computer program for guiding a user of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the computer program product comprising:

• a program code for receiving
• real-time contextual information from a user device, wherein the real-time contextual information is associated with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) enabled over the user device, wherein the real-time contextual information is determined based on at least one of a software development language, type of Integrated Development Environment (IDE), software defects and user profile data, and
• the user profile data, from a profile database, associated with a current user of the user device, wherein the user profile data comprises a set of historical solutions associated with the current user;
• a program code for determining a current issue faced by the current user of the user device based on the real-time contextual information, and whether the current issue has been previously faced by the current user;
• a program code for prioritizing the current issue to be addressed, when multiple current issues are simultaneously faced by the current user, wherein the current issue, of the multiple issues, is prioritize based on a weighted score, wherein the weighted score is computed based on a formulation comprising WS=Σi=1i=N LWSi, wherein LWS=LC*(TLC/TLF), and wherein ‘LC’ indicates Unique occurrence of all words in a label for a single artifact, ‘TLC’ indicates Unique occurrence of all words in a label in all artifacts, ‘TLF’ indicates Total occurrence of all the words in a label in all artifacts, and wherein an artifact is a document comprising description of each issue faced by the current user;
• a program code for enforcing a historical solution when the historical solution is present in the set of historical solutions, wherein the presence of the historical solution in the set of historical solutions ensures that the current issue has been previously faced by the current user;
• a program code for extracting one or more new solutions associated with the current issue from one or more secondary data sources, when the current issue is not associated with a set of historical issues;
• and
• a program code for suggesting the one or more new solutions to the current user, when the current issue is not associated with the set of historical issues, thereby guiding the current user of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to address the current issue.
