System and method for tracking and authenticating code transition during phases of development and deployment

A system for tracking and authenticating software code transition during one or more phases of software development and deployment in a DevOps platform, wherein the system interfaces with the DevOps platform and one or more terminal devices, the system comprising:

• a memory storing program instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory;
• and an application delivery engine in communication with the processor and configured to:
• create, modify and delete, one or more code authentication elements within a distributed ledger;
• map the one or more created or modified code authentication elements with one or more event types occurring in respective one or more tools of the DevOps platform to create an event-contract database;
• extract an event type data from information associated with occurrence of an event in a tool of the DevOps platform;
• determine a code authentication element associated with the extracted event type from the one or more code authentication elements within the distributed ledger based on the mapping of the one or more code authentication elements with the one or more event types associated with one or more tools of the DevOps platform stored in an event-contract database;
• invoke the determined code authentication element to authenticate transition of a software code associated with the extracted event type to an appropriate tool of the DevOps platform;
• and
• execute software code transition based on the result of the authentication.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code stored thereon, the computer-readable program code comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
• create, modify and delete one or more code authentication elements within a distributed ledger;
• mapping the one or more created or modified code authentication elements with one or more event types occurring in respective one or more tools of the DevOps platform to create an event-contract database;
• extract an event type data from the information associated with occurrence of an event in a tool of the DevOps platform;
• determine a code authentication element associated with the extracted event type from the one or more code authentication elements within the distributed ledger based on the mapping of the one or more code authentication elements with the one or more event types associated with the one or more tools of the DevOps platform stored in the event-contract database;
• invoke the determined code authentication element to authenticate transition of a software code associated with the extracted event type to an appropriate tool of the DevOps platform;
• and
• execute software code transition based on the result of the authentication.
