US 11,385,989 B1 · Automated code review process using relevance analysis to control selection of and interaction with code reviewers

Abstract

For each of a plurality of commit operations to be executed for respective given code portions of a set of software code under development, at least one processing device performs a relevance analysis to identify one or more other code portions of the set of software code that each exhibits at least a threshold level of relevance to the given code portion, determines one or more code reviewers for the given code portion based at least in part on the one or more other code portions identified by the relevance analysis, assigns code review responsibilities for the given code portion to the one or more determined code reviewers, notifies the one or more determined code reviewers of the assigned code review responsibilities, and responsive to successful completion of code review by the one or more determined code reviewers, executes the commit operation for the given code portion.

6 more elements

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device:

for each of a plurality of commit operations to be executed for respective given code portions of a set of software code under development:
to perform a relevance analysis to identify one or more other code portions of the set of software code that each exhibits at least a threshold level of relevance to the given code portion;
to determine one or more code reviewers for the given code portion based at least in part on the one or more other code portions identified by the relevance analysis;
to assign code review responsibilities for the given code portion to the one or more determined code reviewers;
to notify the one or more determined code reviewers of the assigned code review responsibilities;
and
responsive to successful completion of code review by the one or more determined code reviewers, to execute the commit operation for the given code portion.

4 more elements

A method comprising:

for each of a plurality of commit operations to be executed for respective given code portions of a set of software code under development:
performing a relevance analysis to identify one or more other code portions of the set of software code that each exhibits at least a threshold level of relevance to the given code portion;
determining one or more code reviewers for the given code portion based at least in part on the one or more other code portions identified by the relevance analysis;
assigning code review responsibilities for the given code portion to the one or more determined code reviewers;
notifying the one or more determined code reviewers of the assigned code review responsibilities;
and
responsive to successful completion of code review by the one or more determined code reviewers, executing the commit operation for the given code portion;
wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
