Abstract

A codebase system that maintains and utilizes a dynamic mapping between a collection of tests and files within a codebase to ensure error detection and code validity. The codebase system accesses a collection of tests configured to process files within the codebase to identify errors. It then generates a mapping by executing these tests to determine the specific files each test operates on. Upon detecting updates to the test collection, the codebase system updates this mapping by re-executing the updated tests, identifying the new set of files for each test, and aggregating these updates into the existing mapping. When changes to the files in the codebase are detected, the codebase system accesses the updated mapping to identify which tests relate to the altered files. The codebase system then executes this relevant subset of tests to validate the modifications made to the files.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

accessing, by a codebase system, a set of tests each configured to, when executed, process one or more files within a codebase to detect a presence of errors within the one or more files;
generating, by the codebase system, a mapping between each test of the set of tests and a corresponding set of files within the codebase by executing the set of tests and detecting, for each executed test, the set of files within the codebase on which the executed test operates;
detecting, by the codebase system, an update to the set of tests;
in response to detecting the update to the set of tests, updating, by the codebase system, the mapping by re-executing the updated set of tests, detecting an updated set of files corresponding to each test in the updated set of tests, and merging the mapping with the updated set of tests and the updated set of files corresponding to the updated set of tests;
detecting, by the codebase system, an update to one or more files within the codebase;
querying, by the codebase system, the updated mapping to identify a subset of tests from the set that are mapped to the updated one or more files;
and
re-executing, by the codebase system, the identified subset of tests to validate the updated one or more files.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause one or more processors to:

access, by a codebase system, a set of tests each configured to, when executed, process one or more files within a codebase to detect a presence of errors within the one or more files;
generate, by the codebase system, a mapping between each test of the set of tests and a corresponding set of files within the codebase by executing the set of tests and detecting, for each executed test, the set of files within the codebase on which the executed test operates;
detect, by the codebase system, an update to the set of tests;
in response to detecting the update to the set of tests, update, by the codebase system, the mapping by re-executing the updated set of tests, detecting an updated set of files corresponding to each test in the updated set of tests, and merging the mapping with the updated set of tests and the updated set of files corresponding to the updated set of tests;
detect, by the codebase system, an update to one or more files within the codebase;
query, by the codebase system, the updated mapping to identify a subset of tests from the set that are mapped to the updated one or more files;
and
re-execute, by the codebase system, the identified subset of tests to validate the updated one or more files.
