Defect Prediction Operation

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• accessing a code base of a computer program, the code base of the computer program comprising a plurality of computer program files;
• training the defect prediction system, the training including performing a historical analysis of defect occurrence patterns in the code base of the computer program;
• analyzing a commit of the computer program to identify a likelihood of defect occurrence within each of the plurality of files of the computer program;
• and,
• calculating a defect prediction metric for each of the plurality of files of the computer program, the defect prediction metric providing an objective measure of defect prediction for each of the plurality of files of the computer program.
