Automatically identifying source code relevant to a task

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored within, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a data processing system, causes the data processing system to implement a source code identification mechanism to automatically identify source code relevant to a task among a set of disparate source code, and further causes the data processing system to:

• search, by a search engine in the source code identification mechanism, a plurality of working sets based on a keyword associated with the task to identify a subset of working sets from a working set store that comprises the keyword associated with the task, wherein each working set in the plurality of working sets is grouped based on a working set type and wherein the working set type is at least one of commit & task, edit & debug, or execution;
• identify, by the search engine, source code files associated with the identified working sets;
• determine, by a scoring engine in the source code identification mechanism, a score that depends on the occurrences of matched working sets for the keyword within each identified source code file, wherein the computer readable program to determine the score that depends on the occurrences of matched working sets for the keyword within each identified source code file further causes the data processing system to:
• for each identified source code file, multiply, by the scoring engine, each identified working set type identified within the source code file by a predetermined value;
• and
• sum, by the scoring engine, the scores of each working set type identified within the source code file to generate the score for the source code file;
• for each directory or repository, determine, by the scoring engine, an aggregated score for all the source code files comprised within;
• and
• present, by a presentation engine, a listing of all identified source code files by directory and repository, wherein the listing illustrates a relevancy of repositories, directories, and source code files that comprise the keyword associated with the task.

A data processing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to implement a source code identification mechanism to automatically identify source code relevant to a task among a set of disparate source code, and further cause the at least one processor to:
• search, by a search engine in the source code identification mechanism, a plurality of working sets based on a keyword associated with the task to identify a subset of working sets from a working set store that comprises the keyword associated with the task, wherein each working set in the plurality of working sets is grouped based on a working set type and wherein the working set type is at least one of commit & task, edit & debug, or execution;
• identify, by the search engine, source code files associated with the identified working sets;
• determine, by a scoring engine in the source code identification mechanism, a score that depends on the occurrences of matched working sets for the keyword within each identified source code file, wherein the instructions to determine the score that depends on the occurrences of matched working sets for the keyword within each identified source code file further cause the at least one processor to:
• for each identified source code file, multiply, by the scoring engine, each identified working set type identified within the source code file by a predetermined value;
• and
• sum, by the scoring engine, the scores of each working set type identified within the source code file to generate the score for the source code file;
• for each directory or repository, determine, by the scoring engine, an aggregated score for all the source code files comprised within;
• and
• present, by a presentation engine, a listing of all identified source code files by directory and repository, wherein the listing illustrates a relevancy of repositories, directories, and source code files that comprise the keyword associated with the task.
