Intelligent software agent to facilitate software development and operations

A computerized method to facilitate software development and operations for an enterprise, comprising:

• listening, by an intelligent software agent platform, to information from a communication input port associated with a software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline of the enterprise, wherein the intelligent software agent platform is listening for a trigger indication from the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• responsive to the trigger indication, applying system configuration information and rule layer information to extract software log data;
• applying a machine learning model to the extracted software log data to generate a pipeline health check analysis report, wherein the pipeline health check analysis report includes an automatically generated prediction associated with future operation of the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• and
• transmitting, via a communication output port coupled to the intelligent software agent platform, the pipeline health check analysis report via a distributed communication network;
• wherein the pipeline health check analysis report includes:
• a prediction of a level of stability of the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• a percentage of software builds that have successively passed through the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline during a time period;
• a prediction of future type of failure of the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• and
• a number of test jobs associated with an application program;
• and
• wherein the pipeline health check analysis report comprises an email message transmitted to at least one of:
• (i) a subject matter expert, (ii) a software development engineer in test, (iii) a software manager, (iv) a quality control member, (v) a quality assurance member, or (vi) any other stakeholder.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method to facilitate software development and operations for an enterprise, the method comprising:

• listening, by an intelligent software agent platform, to information from a communication input port associated with a software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline of the enterprise, wherein the intelligent software agent platform is listening for a trigger indication from the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• responsive to the trigger indication, applying system configuration information and rule layer information to extract software log data;
• applying a machine learning model to the extracted software log data to generate a pipeline health check analysis report, wherein the pipeline health check analysis report includes an automatically generated prediction associated with future operation of the software continuous integration and/or deployment pipeline;
• and
