Dynamic source code entities categorization and ranking based on basis path and graph linkages

A system for dynamic categorization and ranking of source code entities and relationships, the system comprising:

• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor executing the computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• scanning source code of an application, extracting source code entities from the application, and generating a hierarchical source code entity graph model from extracted source code entities;
• scanning a project management artifact repository, extracting project management artifacts from the project management artifact repository, and generating a hierarchical project management artifact graph model from extracted project management artifacts;
• traversing the hierarchical source code entity graph model and the hierarchical project management artifact graph model, and identifying linking relationships between the source code entities and the project management artifacts;
• defining a policy for software quality control from the linking relationships;
• monitoring source code changes to the application;
• and
• modifying source code development for the application when a violation of the policy is identified in response to the monitoring.

A computer program product for dynamic categorization and ranking of source code entities and relationships, the computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium and including instructions that, when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform operations comprising:

• scanning source code of an application, extracting source code entities from the application, and generating a hierarchical source code entity graph model from extracted source code entities;
• scanning a project management artifact repository, extracting project management artifacts from the project management artifact repository, and generating a hierarchical project management artifact graph model from extracted project management artifacts;
• traversing the hierarchical source code entity graph model and the hierarchical project management artifact graph model, and identifying linking relationships between the source code entities and the project management artifacts;
• defining a policy for software quality control from the linking relationships;
• monitoring source code changes to the application;
• and
• modifying source code development for the application when a violation of the policy is identified in response to the monitoring.
