Tracking of code base and defect diagnostic coupling with automated triage

A system, comprising:

• a code repository;
• and
• a processor programmed to:
• identify, in response to a test case error generated by execution of a test case against a code build, a source code segment within the code repository that caused the test case error;
• link the identified source code segment to the test case that generated the test case error;
• monitor the linked source code segment within the code repository for code changes;
• determine whether a test case re-execution criterion associated with the test case has been satisfied based upon a detected code change of the linked source code segment;
• and
• generate an indication to re-execute the test case in response to determining that the test case re-execution criterion associated with the test case has been satisfied.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium including computer readable program code, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

• identify, in response to a test case error generated by execution of a test case against a code build, a source code segment that caused the test case error;
• link the identified source code segment to the test case that generated the test case error;
• monitor the linked source code segment for code changes;
• determine whether a test case re-execution criterion associated with the test case has been satisfied based upon a detected code change of the linked source code segment;
• and
• generate an indication to re-execute the test case in response to determining that the test case re-execution criterion associated with the test case has been satisfied.
