Abstract
A software development management system for use by multiple developers includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire, for each of a plurality of work items each representing a work to change at least one file, designation of a file associated with the work item. A dependency detection unit detects dependencies among a number of files. A determination unit determines, on the basis of the dependencies among the files, whether there is a dependency relationship between at least two work items based on the dependency relationship between the files detected by the dependency detection unit.
Claims20
An information processor comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire, for each of a plurality of work items each representing a work to change at least one file, designation of a file associated with the work item;
- a dependency detection unit configured to detect dependencies among a plurality of files;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine, on the basis of the dependencies among the files, whether there is a dependency relationship between at least two work items based on the dependency relationship between the files detected by the dependency detection unit.
A computer program product for resolving conflicts in software under development, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable] by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
- acquiring, for each of a plurality of work items each representing a work to change at least one file, designation of a file associated with the work item;
- detecting dependencies among a plurality of files;
- and
- determining, on the basis of the dependencies among the files, whether there is a dependency relationship between at least two work items based on the dependency relationship between the files detected by the dependency detection unit.
A method performed by a computer, comprising:
- acquiring, for each of a plurality of work items each representing a work to change at least one file, designation of a file associated with the work item;
- detecting dependencies among a plurality of files;
- and
- determining, on the basis of the dependencies among the files, whether there is a dependency relationship between at least two work items based on the dependency relationship between the files detected by the dependency detection unit.
The method 19, further comprising detecting the dependencies among the files.
